Walk this Way — Start a Walking Club

Physical Activity Participation

We have a Marathon Club here in our school, which we have had for the past 2 years. Every year, we have an increase in student participation, which is great! We meet twice a week to run/walk in order for students to meet their goals. I really like that they try their best and continue to participate. It is something for them to do to stay healthy and active.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

We will keep encouraging the students to reach their goals and never give up. I think that it is very important for the students to have something to look forward to that is fun and healthy for them. They all want to reach their first marathon.
