New Haven Elementary started the 8 week Indy Mini program on March 21, 2019 and registered approximately 68 K-6 grade students and parents. This is about a quarter of the total student population. The group met each Thursday after school for one hour running intervals to work up to the one mile finale. Students tracked their progress at each meeting and talked about the Indy 500 festival. Each week our students ran in different locations within New Haven. This year participants saw a good amount of rain during the training season but enjoyed a beautiful sunny day for the final mile in the New Haven City Park and high school track. Runners and their families also went to a St. Louis Cardinals game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The Cardinals generously donated 100 tickets to the program.
This Indy Mini is the 8th kids marathon New Haven Elementary has offered the students.
