The WBA Running Club takes off in their first meeting of the 2021-2022 school year on September 29, 2021! Running Club starts after school and lasts until 4:30 every Wednesday, weather permitting. Practice takes place on the WBA campus, where runners make a circuit of the school perimeter.
Their sponsor, fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Nowels, heads up the group, sharing her expertise and experience to inspire our Willie Brown scholars. She has participated in a number of half-marathons and is able to pass down her knowledge to these young athletes. In past years, WBA Running Club members have participated in local and area events like Miles for Meredith.
Runners are asked to bring comfortable shoes to run in, as well as a water bottle to hydrate. Membership is open to all Willie Brown scholars.
