Organiser's description

We will meet _ideally _at Washington-Liberty high school track https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Departments/Parks-Recreation/Locations/Parks/War-Memorial-Stadium, but with fall sports on, that may not be possible every week. I will notify everyone of the location NO LATER THAN SUNDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE A MONDAY SESSION. Two other locations will be utilized if/when the track is not available: Bon Air Park https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Departments/Parks-Recreation/Locations/Parks/Bon-Air-Park and Oak Grove Park https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Departments/Parks-Recreation/Locations/Parks/Oak-Grove-Park.

There will be FIVE PRACTICE SESSIONS (drills, laps, practice races, etc.) and ONE FINAL RACE DAY. All kids who finish the program will receive a Flash medal and water bottle.

SCHEDULE:

Mondays from 5:30-6:30pm.

September 16th, September 23th, September 30th, October 7th, October 21st, and final race day on October 28th (skipping Columbus/Indigenous Peoples' Day)

Each session may include: proper warm up technique, basic strength moves, running drills, form work, sprint repeats, endurance laps, and/or practice races. I'm not setting any age restrictions, but please make sure your child/children know(s) this will be work, not just play!
