About This Activity
Description
Our Cross Country Running program is a fitness program for local kids to explore trails around the Girdwood School, and enjoy the last weeks of warmer weather. Kids will play games, do running drills, and experience running varying distances. We invite everyone of 1st to 6th grades to participate.We believe strongly in providing a safe, yet exciting, venue for runners to enjoy nature, while also having the opportunity to reflect and challenge themselves.
Runners will be split up according to their speed. Runners are expected wear proper running shoes plus hat and gloves if needed, and be prepared to run in the rain. Bring a change of clothes to change into afterwards if needed, plus a water-bottle and snack to eat right after school.
It is possible for there to be last-minute cancellations due to very heavy rain. We will try not to cancel, but want the kids to have fun and be safe rather than cold and slipping on the trails.
IMPORTANT: Please let FVCS know if your child will not be attending practice. We take roll everyday to assure your child is accounted for.
Sign up to Volunteer!We have a head coach but need parent volunteers to run with the kids each week. Remember that we don't need only skilled runners as volunteers, our kids run at different levels and paces. Joggers, walkers, and enthusiastic cheerers are needed too!
The FVCS Cross Country Running program may include an (optional) Elementary XC Jamboree held in Anchorage at Service High School. The date and time is still TBD.
Scholarships, financial aid and payment plans are available. Please email jjohnson@fourvalleys.org.
Refund Policy: If FVCS cancels a class you will receive a refund (except transaction fees which are charged by our service provider). If you withdraw more than 3 days prior to class, FVCS will charge a 25% fee to a maximum of $20 for admin costs and provide an account credit for the remaining tuition. If you withdraw less than 3 days before class starts, no refund or credit will be given.
