NEW BUTLER RUNNING PROGRAM (GRADES 4-6)

2024 Running Bears

Grades 4-6 only*

Registration opens: March 22 at 4pm

Registration closes 4/5 or when we reach 80 runners

Register here (beginning on March 22 at 4pm)

Attention runners! IRun4Life as a non-profit organization has ended. Butler would like to try something new this year to keep a running program alive. The 2024 Running Bears will be open to 4th, 5th, and 6th graders only, and will meet on the following five Fridays right after school until 5pm: 

• April 26
• May 3
• May 10
• May 17
• May 31 - Color Run

This year the Running Bears will take the first 80 runners to sign up using the link below. All necessary details will be shared with runners once registration closes. If you are registering more than one child, you must fill out the form for each child.

*In order to run this program, we must have volunteers. If a volunteer has a child younger than fourth grade, that child will be allowed to participate as long as the volunteer is present.

Questions can be directed to Karen Cassidy. Registration will close once we hit 80 runners or the date of April 5th (whichever happens first).
