Bios Cross Country and Family Running Club

It is not supposed to begin for another week, but already on Monday and Wednesday of this week seventeen runners and walkers ranging in age from ten to fifty-something came out for our second annual Bios Cross Country and Family Running Club summer season.

During June and July, a group of Bios students and parents meet in front of our house every Monday and Wednesday morning at 6:15. The group consists of cross country team members, soccer and volleyball team members who want to get in shape, younger siblings, coaches,and parents.

The club is set up, like everything else at Bios, to encourage the individual. That includes experienced runners as well as those new to running. Everyone is part of one of three groups- a faster running group, the steady pace group, and the walk-and-run group. No runner is stuck in just one group. Runners usually move up as the season goes and some rotate to a slower pace.

I enjoy the opportunity families have of exercising together as well as spending time with other Bios families.

The club ends the season in August with an optional 5K race in Higley aptly named "Beat the Heat".

All Bios families are welcome to join. The Club officially begins Monday, June 14.
