About the Project

The project will strengthen and promote academic scholars and physical fitness at Hoover. Working together to combine strengths and knowledge, as we rebuild Hoover’s running club, after rebounding from the affects of Covid at Hoover. Our aim is to promote healthy habits, in and out of the classroom. Promote 100 Mile Club memberships, pre-school through fifth, and include family and community memberships. We will participate in 2-3 local 5Ks, and help plan a mutli-school 5K walk. Hoover had previously logged 50,000+ miles of walking between March 2012 and February 2020 when Covid hit. During a meeting, parents in attendance asked for the return of our running club. We have committed to re-growing our program with new students and re-create and promote excitement about health, wellness, and academics. We will strive to grow happy, healthy lifelong habits for our entirecommunity. We are excited to reboot the running club and continue an “old journey.” Cheers to our health, one mile, student, family member, and community member at a time.
