Welcome Tanglewood Runners,

All you need to do to join is read and fill out the forms titled: Tanglewood Running Club information sheet; t-shirt order form; parent participation and communication form, and the Tanglewood Running Club sign- up sheet.

All of these forms are posted on our website under "Club Forms" to the right. Please download and sign the forms and return to me along with the $25 entry fee. Please either mail the forms or give them to me personally.

Please consider joining us for practices by volunteering on our calendar to help. You do not have to run; just be able to watch the kids.

One last thing, be sure to check the website weekly for our weekly lesson. I would like the children to read these lessons to reinforce what we will be learning at running club.

We will have Running Club on Wednesday, but there will be no practice on Friday due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Enjoy the week off and get ready for the Jingle Bell 5k!


Welcome to the Tanglewood Running Club!

The TRC is open to all 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students. Parents are encouraged to join as well, and siblings are welcome.
We are looking forward to a great season of running. This year we will be participating in the Jingle Bell 5k (December) and the Cowtown Marathon 5k (February). We will communicate more information about the races and registration as we get closer to the dates. Please check the website frequently for any new information, updates or practice cancellations.
 
We need volunteers!
The number of parents/volunteers at each practice will determine where we can run. Without enough help, we will not be able to run on the trail in Overton Park. We can not sacrifice safety and will have to remain on the playground for our workouts. Even if you are not a runner you can still help. Walkers and spotters are extremely helpful. Please let me know if you are willing to help on a regular or occasional basis.
 
Please feel free to contact me with quetions or concerns at anytime. You can email me at jsslaughter@att.net or call me at 817-688-6704.
Thank you,
Wynn Slaughter

"In running, it doesn't matter if you finish first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say 'I finished' and there is a lot of satisfaction in that." - Fred LeBow, cofounder of the NYC Marathon
