I Love to Run jump, play, skate, dance...
I Love to Run month is now becoming an annual tradition for Manitoba in motion. I Love to Run month is designed to help teachers and families promote moderate and vigorous physical activity. The goal is to have grades five and six students create their own physical activity challenge by logging their moderate and vigorous activities for one month.
Upon completion, when students meet their goals, they will receive a certificate of participation signed by the Ministers of Healthy Living and Education, Citizenship and Youth acknowledging their success.
