Important Dates

Our next meeting will be on May 19, 2010 in Mrs. Gautier's room (209) until 3:15. If you have any questions, please see Mrs. Gautier or Justin Kiefer.

        Hey, BHS students!  Spring has sprung, and so have plenty of new opportunities!  Not playing a spring sport this year? Looking for a way to stay in shape for the fall?  Interested in a Belvidere track team?  Then, Belvidere High School’s running club is perfect for you!  Advised by Mr. Owens, the club meets to run after school every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  Running club is a great way to hang out with your friends and stay in shape at the same time!

        The club is open to all students at BHS, whether you play a sport or not.  You don’t need to sign up to be in running club, either.  Anyone is welcome to come run, and runners may participate in the runs whenever they are interested.  Bring your friends!  Currently, the club members are running the breakfast loop or twenty to twenty-five minute runs around town on the days the group meets after school. If you are out of shape, it’s a good way to get back into exercising again.  Everyone runs at a different pace, so all students will have someone to run with.  Many cross-country runners and other fall athletes participate in the club to keep running and stay in shape for next year’s season.  

        Are you a competitive runner?  Do you like to run for time?  If so, the club has opportunities for you!  The group is hoping to get its own t-shirts for its participants and is looking into running in a local race as a group.  Belvidere High School is also looking into possibly getting its own track team for the future.  If you’re interested in it, show your support by running with the club!  All are welcome, so if you’re looking for something to do after school, feel free to join us!  Just come to Mr. Owens’s room (room 223) after school on Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday with a bottle of water and ready for a run!
