Panthers Running Club for 1st-6th grades starts this Friday, 1/9, 8-9am!

Happy 2025 Peabody Panthers! The PE team is excited to announce that we will start the Panthers Running Club on Fridays late start mornings, beginning January 9th, 8am-9am, for 1st-6th grades.

The Panthers Running Club is a fun opportunity to get extra training for the Jogathon on February 6th. Here’s the fun part- you can walk, jog OR run and have the chance to earn a cool necklace with charms as you meet lap goals. 

You can walk, jog or run as much as you want and you don’t have to come every week. Every bit of extra training will help you at the Jogathon! 

No need to sign up, just show up anytime during 8-8:45am on any Friday and start laps at either the boy mile starting line or the girl mile starting line at the basketball hoops. Last lap needs to be completed by 9am. 

Runners will receive a dot on their hand for every quarter mile lap they complete. Runners will record their daily lap total by their name on their class/grade clipboard. 

Lap rewards (cumulative during program)-

5k (3.1 miles)- 12 laps- necklace and blue paw charm

10k (6.2 miles)- 24 laps- yellow paw charm

Half marathon (13.1 miles)- 52 laps- blue panther charm

Marathon (26.2 miles)- 104 laps- gold shoe charm 

I will be explaining the details to the students during PE. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me Julianne.hastings@peabodycharter.net

Let’s go, Panthers!
