Read, Right, & Run

Read, Right, and Run is a program in which students Read 26 books, do 26 "Rights" or good deeds (we will be trying to incorporate a few of these throughout our program this year), and Run 25 miles (spread out over several months) together before school on Wednesday mornings. At the end of our program, we will run the final mile(s) together at the GO! Stl Read, Right, Run Marathon in April.

Tillman’s Read, Right & Run group meets weekly before school, starting on September 25.  Drop-off begins at 7:50 and we run at 8:00. We gather together after our run to talk about our progress with the 26 books and 26 good deeds we are working to complete before heading to classrooms for a great day of learning!. We would also love to have family volunteers to help and run with our group to help keep everyone safe and provide encouragement! If you're interested, a sign-up link will be coming out soon.

After 26 weeks of hard work, the program culminates when the students run 1.2 mile on race day to complete the program. The final race will take place on Saturday, April 5.
