Awesome program! This will be the fifth year we will participate in the program. Below is the letter that I sent home to parents about the program, and also the parent waiver.
Welcome to the 2016 Fall Race Season!
I hope you’ve all had a wonderful summer. I’m sure you’re busy preparing to welcome your new students to another successful school year. The Hartford Marathon Foundation is now in full swing preparing for the Eversource Hartford Marathon and Half Marathon. As part of the marathon festivities, we are happy to bring back the HMF FitKids In School running program, formerly known as ING Run For Something Better, to Rentschler Field in East Hartford on Tuesday, October 25 from 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM. Your school is cordially invited your school to be part of this exciting program!
About the event! The HMF FitKids in School running program is a free program designed for students throughout Connecticut in grades 4-8 to learn how to incorporate running and fitness into their everyday activities and encourage a healthy lifestyle. The Hartford Marathon Foundation provides schools with training materials so that students can log their miles each day to accumulate enough mileage to complete a Half Marathon or Full Marathon. Schools from throughout the state of Connecticut then come together to run their “Final Mile” on Medal Day at Rentschler Field on Tuesday morning, October 25, 2016. Last year we had over 2,400 students participate in their “Final Mile” at Rentschler Field!
