The Run Hard club is an eight week running club for Elementary and Middle Schoolers that equips students to run a 5K. During the season, students train twice a week for about 1 1/2 hours with a focus on endurance training and the Run Hard Core Values. Practice days for individual schools are listed below. Please contact individual schools for specific start and finish times and other school-specific details.
Please note: if you chose to register using paper forms, schools may already be full before we receive your form. To be guaranteed a spot, you should register online, which will immediately reserve your spot.
Elementary Schools meet 2:30–3:45, Middle Schools 3:30–4:45.

The Run Hard race is a 5k (3.1 mile) race that is free to all Run Hard club members and a running sponsor. For Run Hard participants, the race will be officially timed, so you can be sure your time will be accurate. Location TBA.
Participants earn rewards along the way. For example, when runners accomplish 1.5 miles they have earned their Run Hard t-shirt. Our goal is to reward participants for working hard to achieve a goal. Upon completion of the program, each participant will have earned a water bottle, dri-fit moisture wicking shirt and finisher medal.
