Cypress Village’s Stormy Sprinters Running Club is a training and running program for the Kids Run the OC (the OC Marathon’s Kid Race). The club meets once a week to train after school on Fridays. The Stormy Sprinters will both run and participate in games that will help improve speed, agility, hand/eye coordination, flexibility, and overall fitness. Students will be led through a fun training program by Mr. Gabagat and Cypress Village’s own Ms. Auerbach who have been trained by the OC Marathon.
By the end of the program, our goal is for each student to have accumulated the equivalent of 25.2 miles through games and activities. In addition, students will learn about healthy food choices and good eating habits. They will also be ready to finish their “marathon” by participating virtually or in-person in the OC Marathon’s “Kids Run the OC” Final 1-Mile Run on Saturday, April 30, 2022 at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa. This culminating event is a non-competitive run for kids ages 6 to 13. Enrollment in the “Kids Run the OC” race event is optional and registration is an additional fee. Register online at www.kidsruntheoc.org.
All running club participants will receive a Stormy Sprinters Running Club t-shirt. OC Marathon KROC finishers will be awarded a Kids Run the OC Marathon Medal, Timed Race Result, and an official Kids Run the OC Marathon t-shirt.
Even if kids don't want to participate in the marathon, join the fun and run like the wind!
