Extracurricular ActivitiesLittle Milers1-3 GradersTuesday, September 12, 2023Tuesday, September 13, 2022weekly from 3:45 - 4:30Leahy ParkEric FurmanThe goals of the club are to get students interested in/enjoying running at an early age (before they’re convinced it’s hard/not fun) and to “graduate” 3rd-graders that are able to run a mile, thus setting them up to join our cross country program in 4th grade. The group will meet once per week, and members can optionally participate in a weekend race series hosted for kids of this age in Evanston.
