Cougar Movers

Cougar Movers is our Running/Walking program that meets before school every Friday morning from 8:10-8:55 AM on the MCE field. (You can also participate in our program virtually).

Students and siblings (even 3 year olds!) earn a small charm for their Cougar Movers necklace for each 12 laps and a larger charm for every 105 laps… A MARATHON!

Things to remember:

  • 1 lap = .25 miles
  • 12 laps = 3 miles  → 1 small charm
  • 105  laps = 26.6 miles (1 marathon!) → 1 large charm

Virtual Cougar Movers

Does your student love Cougar Movers, but you can't attend in person Friday Mornings?  We have a solution! You and your student(s) can participate in Virtual Cougar Movers!

  1. Pick a day each week to track your Cougar Movers laps. Doesn’t have to be a Friday, pick any day you want. If you miss a week, that’s ok! But, we are only counting laps once a week, just like if we were in school.
  2. Pick a location, you can use a school track or simply track your distance on your phone/watch. 1 lap = .25 miles.
  3. Start your timer for 45 minutes and get moving! You don’t have to run/walk for the whole time, but 45 minutes is the weekly limit for our program.
  4. When you are finished, fill out the Cougar Movers Google form every Sunday by 8:00 PM for that week and we will enter your laps into our system. Charms will be delivered to your student's teacher.
