Welcome to Cadence Park PTSA’s Running Team!
The Puma Run Club is open to all Cadence Park students in grades K–8. We meet bright and early on Friday mornings at 7:15am to run, play active games, and kick off the day with energy and smiles. Our 2026 Fall season will kick off September 18th!
Our goal is to help instill healthy habits in our kids by sharing simple nutrition tips, talking about how to live active and balanced lives, and experiencing the many benefits of exercise together in a fun, full, and engaging way. Best of all—practices are free for everyone!
Throughout the year, we also offer two optional races where students can challenge themselves and celebrate their progress:
🏃♀️ Run For A Claus – December 19, 2026
🏃 Kids Run The OC – May 1, 2027
(Race registration fees apply, but financial assistance is available if needed.)
Whether your child is brand new to running or already loves it, the Puma Run Club is about building confidence, staying active, and having fun as part of a team.
Got questions? Email us anytime at runclub@cadenceparkptsa.org.
We can’t wait to see our Pumas out on the track! 🐾✨

The Program
We are partnered with Kids Run the OC, a program designed by the OC Marathon committee. They provide a curriculum that includes active games, nutrition challenges, and race training. Students in grades K-3 must have an adult in attendance during practices. The program is divided into two semesters—Fall and Spring.
PTSA Scholarships
Need help with race entry fees? We offer scholarships to ensure every student can participate—just fill out our quick form and we’ll take care of the rest!

Run For A Claus 2024 Recap
We wrapped up our Fall Run Club season in style at the Run For A Claus race this past Saturday! With 47 kids and 25 adults signed up, it was a fantastic turnout. The day was filled with holiday cheer as we kicked things off with a group photo with Santa and warm cups of hot chocolate.
The race itself was a huge success—our Pumas ran with so much heart, and the smiles on their faces said it all. Families had a blast running together, making it a truly special way to celebrate the end of the season.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this incredible day.
