Seymour Lil Sprinters 5K Club

TotalRunnerAthletics will be partnering again this spring with East Granby Parks & Recreation to offer Seymour students a unique running club opportunity.

This program aims to introduce the sport of running to students in a way that promotes their physical, cognitive, and social needs while providing them an opportunity to participate in various races.

Running is a sport for all ages and is so much fun. This 6-week program will allow students in grades 3-5 to learn the importance of being physically active for life in a fun way.  We will focus on the fundamentals of running through age-appropriate activities and games that build confidence and are gender-inclusive.

We will also encourage our young runners to adopt running as a part of a healthy lifestyle. The Sprinters 5K Club provides them with an exciting journey towards completing a Kid’s Run, or 5K in various races!

Participants will build their running skills, learn proper techniques, and gain confidence.  They will have the opportunity to showcase their progress by participating in local events (events are typically Saturday mornings and are optional and an additional cost).   

Key Features:
  • Inclusive for all skill levels
  • Focus on building running fundamentals/5k customized training plan for each athlete’s individual needs.
  • Option to participate in a variety of Kids Run/5K events to track progress.
  • Fun activities and games to keep kids engaged.
  • Emphasis on teamwork and personal growth.
  • Participate in HMF's "FitKids in School Final Mile Day" at Wickham Park on May 22nd (open to grades 4 & 5 only - more information will be provided once registered).
Schedule:
This 6-week programs runs Mondays & Wednesdays (April 21st - May 28th) from 2:55pm - 4:15pm (no class on May 26).

Registration Cost:
Program cost: $155 per resident, Families with two or more participants can receive a $25 discount for a second, and third child. Registration fee includes a custom training plan for their unique needs, a training log for recording their runs and other physical activity, a water bottle, and an after-school snack to fuel their run.

Weekly Races: Participation in local events during weeks 5-10 is optional but highly encouraged. Families will receive race registration links to all events in their athlete welcome packet. All links for these events provide families with a discounted rate through TotalRunnerAthletics as a member of our team. Links can be shared with family and friends to encourage others to participate and support your 5K Sprinter Club athlete. I strongly encourage you to register your child for any events of interest as early as possible since most of these events will sell out prior to race day.
