This is a club where we can share our love of running/jogging/walking in the beautiful outdoors. If a student isn't in sneakers, they will not be able to walk/run. Instead, they can cheer for the students and/or assist the club leader(s).When does the Mileage Club meet? We will meet Tuesday mornings at 8:30 AM. For the Fall 2025 club, we will be meeting September 30, 2025 through December 2, 2025. We will NOT meet November 4 or November 11 due to holidays.

Please stay and enjoy the club - feel free to join the students walking and jogging around the track, or help to keep count of laps with the parent volunteers.
