Running Club Registration 2024-2025

Running teaches me that I am capable of so much more than I ever imagined.

We are looking forward to another great year of Running Club! We practice on the paved track around the soccer field from 6:45 to 7:10 am, Mondays and Fridays (excluding holidays and school closures). We want to inspire a love of running in all the Running Club kids!

The School Street gate near the soccer field will be the best place to drop your child off for practice. Attendance is taken at every practice session, so please advise your child to check in with the volunteer parent as soon as he or she arrives. Tennis shoes, running appropriate clothing, and a full water bottle are highly recommended. Your child may also want to bring a small hand towel because the kids can get quite sweaty!

We normally train rain or shine. If it is raining, the kids will train under the roof of the covered area. However, for potential severe weather related cancellations, please check the email you provide with registration. 

All new and returning student athletes must re-register to participate for the current school year. Registration enables us to keep a Club roster and to remain in touch with our Running Club families throughout the year, with communications from practice cancellations due to weather to information about local fun runs your runners may be interested in. We also request a donation of $30 per child per year. Your donations allow us to buy t-shirts and incentive prizes for the kids, and to hold our annual end of the season race, The Mustang Rally - a 400m race for every grade level, held at the Rice Track & Field Stadium in May. The Running Club will also participate in the Run of Pi, a 5K fun run hosted every February by Houston Engineers Week.

Hope to see you at Running Club!
