2025-2026 Sharks on the Run Information Letter

Sharks on the Run will begin on Tuesday, August 26th . Registration will begin on MONDAY, August 11th at 8 AM and will close when the club is at capacity. After August 11th, if you don’t see it in SchoolPay, it is full. ***Registration is on a first come, first serve basis. To make sure we do not have too many kids in the gym at the same time, we are only allowing 100 runners in K - 2nd and 100 runners in 3rd - 5th.*** It fills up very quickly, so do not delay!!!
SOTR will last the whole year, from August 26th - May 1st.
***Registration can be found in School Pay***
- The cost is $50.00 for the whole year of SOTR. Please sign up using SchoolPay. Please make sure you select a t-shirt size for your student when you register.
- SOTR will begin the week of August 26th and run through Friday, May 1st.
- K, 1st & 2nd grades will run on WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY mornings.
- 3rd, 4th & 5th grades will run on TUESDAY and THURSDAY mornings.
- The running window is from 7:10 AM-7:35 AM. *** Students need to go to their homerooms first to drop off bookbags and check in with teachers.*** After they have checked in, they can head down to the big gym to begin running. They may come and go anytime during that time-frame (7:10AM-7:35AM) but we will stop them at 7:35 and send them back to class before the bell rings.
- Each runner will be assigned a timing chip- that is how we keep count of their laps.
- Students will earn “charms” for running (see photos above). When they join, they will receive a running shoe charm. These can be worn anywhere! On their shoe laces, on necklaces, or on a keyring on their backpack. The choice is theirs.
- As the miles add up, they will receive different charms. We have numbers to mark their mileage accomplishments at 10, 20, 30 ,40 , 50… all the way up to 100 miles! We will also have chances for them to earn seasonal/monthly charms.
- Only miles completed during Sharks on the Run and SOTR events will count towards their totals.
Thank you for your support! Coach Nelson, Coach Vogt and Coach Raicik
