Windbreakers Run Club
We’re excited to launch a unique running club for Indigenous youth grades 7-12, led by St. Albert teacher Jarod Letendre and proudly organized in collaboration with Métis Local 1904. Our club focuses on more than just running, we also emphasize the importance of culture.
What we offer:
– Free Long-Distance Running Training: Develop endurance and strength with professional guidance, training twice a week on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings.
– Cultural Education: Engage with and learn about the traditions and histories of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples through respected elders and guest speakers.
We believe in nurturing both the body and spirit of our young Indigenous runners, helping them gain a greater appreciation for their culture, all while building physical fitness.
Join us in this exciting adventure! Stay tuned for updates on training sessions, events, and more.
