March 24th is fast approaching, so don’t forget to sign up for our Cubs on the Run 5k Race and Fun Run! Our 5k race was designed to help bring light to the growing problem of childhood obesity.

Our Cubs on the Run 5k  race is open to runners and walkers of all ages. The course is moderately hilly track on Kim’s Cove Rd and Highway 110 in Canton, NC. There are water stations along the course. Trophies will be awarded for top male and female overall finishers as well as age group medals for male and female top three finishers. The first 150 entries are guaranteed a race t-shirt!

Our Cub Fun Run/Walk is designed for those who aren’t quite ready to tackle a 5k. The less than a mile course is on Meadowbrook Drive and Meadowbrook Elementary property.

A health and wellness expo will be located in the gym from 7:30 until 11:00. This is a free event to help increase awareness of all forms of health care and healthy living opportunities that are available in our area.

Pre-Race packets can be picked up on Friday, March 23rd 3:00-5:00.  Race day packet pick up and same day registration begins Saturday, March 24th at 7:30.   The Cub Fun Run will begin at 9:00. The 5k will begin at 9:30 and the awards ceremony will start immediately following the 5k.

I am so excited to start another brand new year! A new year can also bring new ideas and changes too! I would like to introduce our student intern from Western Carolina University, Erin McDanal.  We are fortunate enough to have her until May!

Family Fitness Night

Family fitness night will be on Thursday, January 12th at 6:00. Kathy Keogh, the health education specialist at MedWest Regional Fitness Center will be here to talk to us about healthy eating and how to make nutritious snacks! Come out, learn new recipes and have lots of fun!

Don’t forget running club starts back on Thursday, January 5th from 3:10-3:45. We will begin having practices on Tuesdays as well starting January 10th. Join now and get ready for our 3rd Annual Cubs on the Run 5k and Fun Run! Look for registrations to come home soon!

Amazingly there are only a  few more days left until our next break and our students will be out for almost three whole weeks! I want to encourage  you and your family to remain active over the break! Your children and I have discussed how they need to be moderately to vigorously active for at least one hour each and everyday! I challenge you and your child to strive for this goal over break. Below is a link to the SPARK website that has some great ideas to help you stay active during the holidays!
