Join us at the Barn Quilt 5k!

Hi folks!  We would like to invite you to join us at the Shawano Pathways Barn quilt 5k run/walk on Sat 9/24 at 9:40 am at Memorial Park. Through a generous gift, club kids can enter as a group, and participate in this event for FREE!  There will be food and games and jumpy house.  We encourage kids to try to collect pledges and bring to the event, which goes towards SAM 25 emergency shelter, Boys and Girls Club and Big Brothers/Big Sisters.  We will hand out entry forms this coming week at practice, which kids need to RETURN TO US at practice by Wed 9/21, so we can register as a group together.  We will also hand out the pledge forms, which need to be back day of the race.  This is an untimed, noncompetitive event.

We do not have school or practice on Friday 9/23, so this would be a good practice run before the Shawano Invite, our first race, on Monday 9/26.  We plan to start easy at this 5k, then run about 2 miles, then "cool down" for the last mile.  Believe it or not, I suspect most kids have been running this type of distance already during our practices past week!

Please come show support for these wonderful community organizations!  Wear your team shirts (which should be in this coming week!)
