KCS Run Club Finishes 2nd in “Fittest School Challenge”

January 29, 2021 //  by Chase Caples

In January of 2020, several Elementary students, along with Mrs. Lawson (2nd grade) and Mrs. Williams (first grade), formed a “Run Club” for K – 5 students. The club entered to compete in the Covenant Kids Run.

The Covenant Kids Run is a program created to encourage kids to lead healthier and more active lifestyles. The children that participate in the run would run a total of 25 miles leading up to the race. On race day, they would meet in-person to run the final mile together, totaling the distance of a full marathon, which is 26.2 miles.

The run was originally scheduled for April 2020 but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was postponed and eventually went virtual. Up until Knoxville Christian School’s brief school closure in March and April of 2020, the Run Club would meet twice a week to log their miles, with the option to run or walk. When school closed down after Spring Break last year, students continued logging their own miles at home.

In addition to the student’s efforts to get “fit” at home, they registered for the “Fittest School Challenge.” Schools all across the area were ranked in the “Fittest School Challenge” based on their overall participation and categorized based on school enrollment size. Knoxville Christian School was placed in the small school category with many other schools in the area – a category they ended up placing 2nd in! Not only was the Knoxville Christian Run Club awarded a plaque for ending up in 2nd place, they were also presented with a check for $750 to go toward KCS’ Physical Education program! Way to go! To view the 2020 “Fittest School Challenge” rankings, visit https://knoxvillemarathon.com/covenant-kids-run/.

The 2020 “Fittest School Challenge” participants were:

  • Bo Griffin
  • Abbie Arritt
  • AnnaLeigh Arritt
  • Bri Brown
  • Lily Brown
  • Sadie Laman
  • Bella Cuba
  • Hudson Cuba
  • Crawford Brown
  • Mrs. Wellons
  • Mrs. Williams
  • Mrs. Lawson
