Welcome to Islanders Running Club, a club for kids with the motto "Fun, Fitness and Friendship". Our club runs from April to October and we welcome new members at any time.
2011 will be the fifth year of Islanders Running Club and the club has expanded in many wonderful ways. We now have almost 30 young athletes with all ranges of athletic ability and differing reasons for participating. Some athletes choose to focus on practices and having fun in the running games that we play; other runners focus on some competitions. This year, along with our running, we will introduce some throwing (discus and shott putt) and long jump.
Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 9:18PM Just a reminder that tomorrow (Sept 11) is our last Sunday practice of the season. Following that there will be four more Wednesday practices (Sep 14, 21, 28, and Oct 5) and then we will close out the season by participating in the kids fun run (1km) as part of the Victoria marathon on Sunday October 9.
