GUMC Children's Running Club

General Information: The running club is for boys & girls ages 5 – 15 years where emphasis is on fun & fitness. The program is coordinated by Janet Hart along with a host of volunteers from the church and community. Parents are also encouraged to take part in training!

The club is limited to 50 participants (filled on a first come, first serve basis). The runners will be training and preparing for the Grayson Day 5K road race and One-Mile Fun Run on Saturday, April 24, 2010. Entry fees for these races are the responsibility of each runner.
Registration: Participants must submit an application and a fee of $30 made payable to Grayson UMC (fee includes practices and a t-shirt). Again, we are limited to the first 50 participants.
Cost: $30 payable to Grayson UMC (to include practices & t-shirt)

Additional Information:

Typically the club practices one week-night from 6:15 -7:30 p.m beginning in March. We encourage all participants to attend every practice . Wear comfortable athletic shoes and proper running attire. Bring water bottle, no jeans.

Our culminating activity will be the Grayson Day 5k road race and One-Mile Fun Run on April 24th. This race is NOT included in your $30 Running Club fee and anyone who wishes to participate in the 5k or Fun Run is required to complete a separate application along with Race Entry Fee payable directly to the Race event organizers (to be announced). Ms. Hart will provide copies of the Race Application, during one of the Training/Practice Sessions. The race fees are typically $15.00-$25.00.

It is our hope, each GUMC Running Club participant will choose to participate in one of the races on April 24th: Children 5-8yrs are encouraged to participate in the One-Mile Fun Run and Children 9-15yrs are encouraged to participate in the 5K (3.1 mile) Road Race. Any variation from this is the decision of the child and his/her parent(s)/guardian(s).
