HUSKIES ON THE RUN IS READY FOR SPRING 2026!

We invite Highcroft students to walk or run on the track on the following Friday mornings:

  • April 10
  • April 17
  • April 24
  • May 8
  • May 15

 

HOW TO REGISTER FOR HUSKIES ON THE RUN:

 

Families must be PTA members for their children to participate, but there is no other cost for Huskies on the Run.  Click here to join the PTA.

 

If your runner ran in Fall 2025, you do not need to register them again. Otherwise, registration is required for all runners and is available using the "Informational Form" at the bottom of this page. Registration is open on a rolling basis, but please sign up by Friday, March 27th to ensure your child has a runner's card on day 1!

 

How does it work?

Students report to the track at 8:00 am and pick up their index card from a parent volunteer. Warm ups start shortly before 8:15 am. At the end of each lap, a volunteer marks the card. When the bell rings at 8:45 am, students turn their cards back in to a volunteer and report to their classrooms. Rewards for distance covered will be sent to classrooms the following week!

What are the rules?

  • Each student must be escorted to the track by a guardian for check in.

  • Students must keep moving the entire time. 

  • Students can not leave the track area.

  • Students can not enter the building without a volunteer.

  • Students can not use the playground equipment. 

  • All participants must have a signed permission slip on file and Certificate of Accident Insurance.

  • Only participants need to fill out the Certificate of Accident Insurance. (All of this is apart of the online registration.)

More Information

  • In the event of inclement weather, a mass email will be sent by 7:30 am.

  • If your child attends YMCA in the morning, they can still participate in HOTR. YMCA will bring them to us at the appropriate time.

Expectations

I understand that my child will be participating in 30 minutes of self-paced physical activity. They should arrive prepared with sensible footwear and a water bottle. Students are expected to monitor their own physical behavior. If a student is disruptive, they will not be invited to return. Drop off is at 8:15 am. Your child will not be supervised before then.
