What is the Running Club?At Beningnus, we are proud to offer a running club for all students. K-5Our purpose is to have the students develop a life long love of exercise and healthy habits.In order to maintain our club each runner will be required to abide by the following policies and procedures.What to wear?Appropriate running attire is required at all meetings. Dress for the weather. We will be outside as much as possible. We will not be changing clothes afterwards due to the large number of participants. So, plan on wearing what you wear to Running Club to school that day. Thanks for your help with this.
