Station Camp Striders Running Club
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are excited about another year of running club with the Station Camp Striders!
Please return the attached permission slip to the P.E. Office by the first practice on
Thursday, October 3rd if your child is interested in participating.
We ask that you fill out a new form, regardless if you were a Strider last year,
because there have been several changes! Please note: it is never too late to join
running club, so if you have missed the deadline please return this permission form
by the first practice you attend!
We encourage you to participate with us in various optional Fun Runs throughout
the school year as a family, but have to ask that practices at school consist of 3-5th
grade students ONLY. Our training will prepare interested students to represent
Station Camp Elementary well in our last event of the season, the ING Kids
Country Music Marathon at LP Field in the springtime.
We encourage Striders and parent runners that intend to participate in such events
to purchase a new Striders t-shirt, but please know this purchase is not mandatory.
Please go ahead and CIRCLE your child’s/your t-shirt size on the attached slip,
and make a check payable to Station Camp Elementary. T-shirts are $8/each.
Thank you so much for your support in providing your child with a fun opportunity
to be healthy.
If you have any questions, please contact us:

Station Camp Striders will practice on Thursday mornings from 7:00-8:00a,

Students will be expected to arrive for practice between 7:00-7:15a, using the side (gym)
entrance. There will NOT be a supervising teacher in attendance before 7:00a/after

Striders may occasionally practice at the SCHS Track, weather permitting. These special
occasions will be determined on a day-by-day basis, so runners must always be prepared

includes NO outside guests, and students NOT being permitted to arrive at the track.
Striders will partake in various local Fun Runs, often on weekends. These are optional
