We are excited to share that the DPAC (District Parent Advisory Council) and the STA (Surrey Teacher’s Association) are putting a Sun Run Team together with CUPe728. Our team name is Surrey Students Deserve Better. For those CUPE728 members, STA or DPAC members that sign up on our team, you will have access to a FREE running clinic starting mid- to end-January put on by Marcey, Communications Officer. Marcey has put on running clinics for CUPE728 before and was a past personal trainer for many years, even working in the summer CLF Training Camps for 2 years.
This running clinic will be designed for those 728/DPAC/STA members that are new to running or want to learn. Marcey will post running tips on this page along with stretches and much more info. The plan will be to meet once a week as a group at Bear Creek Park on Wednesdays starting at 3:45pm and train together. We will then meet Saturday mornings at various areas around Surrey (Ex. Tynehead, Crescent Beach, Clayton Heights…) We will be setting up a What’s App group to help with motivation and support. This What’s App group could also be used to let others know when participants are going for a run so others can join.
This is NOT designed to be a drop-in. Each week we will progress more and more and work on the techniques we learned the week before. You will need to email officer@cupe728.ca if you are interested so that we have an idea of how many people are showing up each week.
