What is Mileage Club?

The Mileage Club meets at the LPES track between the playgrounds. Students will walk or jog and club leaders will tally the number of laps completed by each student. The goal of this club is to enjoy some moderate athletic activity before school and for students to set and celebrate personal goals.

This is not a race or a competition. This is a club where we can share our love of running/jogging/walking in the beautiful outdoors.

Students are required to wear sneakers and to bring a water bottle to the club.

If a student isn't in sneakers, they will not be able to walk/run. Instead, they can cheer for the students and/or assist the club leader(s).

When does the Mileage Club meet?

We will meet Tuesday & Friday mornings at 8:30 AM. For the Fall 2025 club, we will be meeting September 30, 2025 through December 2, 2025. For more information on the specific dates the club will meet, club members will receive information via email.

How can my student join the Mileage Club?

Fill out this form! Families interested in Mileage Club must fill out this form each session, even if the student(s) have participated previously. Students who do not have a form filled out will not be able to participate. They will be asked to cheer for students and/or assist the club leader(s).

Adults (and siblings) are welcome to join us!

Please stay and enjoy the club with your student(s)- feel free to enjoy the track, or help to keep count of laps with the parent volunteers. We look forward to seeing you! We have also welcomed younger siblings (aka future Penguins) who are accompanied by an adult.
