Raymond Recreation Association

Fall Soccer information coming soon!

2017 Running Program:

Raymond Recreation Association Running Program

Who:    Children in 2^nd – 4^th grades. 

When: Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:15-4:15 pm (6 weeks)

       From May 2^nd – June 8^th (weather dependent)

Cost:   $15 per child (additional donations to Raymond Rec

       appreciated)

What: A running program that will let children

       experience a variety of fun running activities,

            and build self-confidence in fitness abilities

Details:  This is designed to be a fun, positive program that will let each child challenge him/herself through short and longer distance running, relay races, games, and stretching.  This is a running program, not a walking program- all children are expected to be able to run. 

Runners will meet in the RES gym and will run on the athletic fields and woods trails both at RES and JSMS.  Parents are expected to pick up their children at the RES field PROMPTLY at 4:15 pm.

The running program will be cancelled on rainy days.  Please put an email address on the sign up forms so I can email everyone in the event of a cancellation.  I will decide whether or not to cancel by 10 am; you may contact the school after that if you do not have access to email. 

Volunteers are ESSENTIAL to keep this program going!  There must be at least two adults present at all times.  I have a volunteer signup with Signupgenius.com, I will send the link when I receive the registration forms.  You do NOT need to be a runner, but you are always welcome to jog/walk/run.  The speedy kids love a race, the kids who are learning love company.  If everyone chips in a day or two, we’ll be all set. New volunteers to Raymond Rec will need to fill out a background check form. 

Equipment needed for each participant:

1. Sneakers or running shoes (Just well fitting, not pricey- we’re running on fields and trails)
2. Running shorts and t-shirt
3. Sweatshirt or wind jacket (backup, this is Maine!)
4. Water bottle (EVERY day!  We cannot send kids inside for drinks)

Raymond Recreation Association is a private, non-profit organization of interested adults who wish to provide recreational opportunities to the children of Raymond. It is not associated with the school or town government, but works closely with other groups. Adults involved are volunteers rather than paid professionals; thus, the costs of the various programs are minimized. Some fund raising is necessary to offset the costs of activities: i.e. swimming lessons.

The Raymond Recreation Association has existed since 1963 in Raymond, serving hundreds of children each year.
