Kids Running Club wrapped up its second successful season focusing on making movement fun in July, with twice weekly sessions on the M.S.H.S track and City of Marquette Fit Strip.

Coaches Kellen and Becca Wessels, Mik and Jeni Kilpela, Brooke Loewen, and teen coaches Kalyn Carr and Jack Grant, used games and activities to have fun running and work on fundamentals like sportsmanship and pacing.

Kids Running Club included 35 participants ranging in age from 7 to 12 years old.  Activities included Adventure Runs at the Presque Isle Bog Walk and trying out the workout stations at the Fit Strip. The runners were all energetic and willing to try out whatever crazy game we had that day.

Really hot day? No problem! A water gauntlet provided a fun tunnel to dash through and cool down. Photo by Angela Palomaki.
