A Year of School Fun Run Themes for 2020 | 100 Mile Club

The majority of miles in 100 Mile Club® will be completed at school during school hours. Before, during, and directly after school are the times when most miles will be accrued. Really, you can complete all of your miles at school and run quite a successful club. BUUUUUT, if you want to add some spice and shenanigans to your 100 Mile Club, why not try creating some themed Fun Run events in 2020? They are easy, low or no cost, and help bridge the gap between schools, families, and their communities, creating genuine and valued family and community engagement at your school and beyond. Adding a theme is fun, silly, and will add a lot of flair to your Fun Runs, Family Nights, or Run-Togethers. Always have music or a fun seasonal playlist going, take pictures, and celebrate MILEstones as they are achieved. Here are a few ideas to get your 2020 creative juices flowing: ❄️ January New Year, New YOU. Bring a New Year’s wish or goal and drop it in a “wishing well” (a sparkly or decorated tub) Hot Cocoa Winter Waddle. Bundle up and have some healthy hot cocoa ready for your little runners! Winter Warm Up. Gather outgrown jackets or new blankets to donate to a local shelter. ❤️ February Friendship Frolic. Bring a friend or loved one to your Fun Run! Maybe someone new who has never been before.  Offer “Friend ‘Fotos” and share post-event for families to cherish. Valentines Day Dash. Have a face-painter on hand to bring some sparkle to your Valentine’s Day Fun Run. Love Walk. Hearts EVERYWHERE! ☘️ March Shamrock Scamper. Host a Fastest Feet mile or half-mile during your fun run. Winners get sparkly Leprechaun Hats! Musical sMILES March. Have students submit a song for the Fun Run playlist (check for appropriateness, of […]
