FDLRC Youth Running Series
A free four-week youth cross country series invites students entering grade 8 or below to run at Theisen Middle School. The event is open to the public, and students from any school district, including those outside the area, are welcome no matter what sports they play during the school year. Race-day registration is the only signup and it covers all weeks. Returning runners should check in before their race each week. The registration area is set up on the east side of the building near the east parking lot, and if weather moves in it will be relocated just inside door number 9 by that lot. Races are grouped by grade and distance: Pre-K and Kindergarten run 1/8 mile, grades 1 through 3 run 1/4 mile, grades 4 through 6 run 1/2 mile, and grades 7 and 8 run 3/4 mile. All courses are on grass on the east side of Theisen and loop around the football field, with the start and finish close to the east parking lot. Volunteers will be on course to help guide participants. Every runner receives a participant award each week. All finishers are timed and will receive a place card at the line, which must be turned in at registration so results can be recorded. Water will be available for both participants and spectators.
