Feedback from Webster Hill Elementary in West Hartford, CT:  

Jeff Wallowitz, Principal of Webster Hill Elementary

"Along with all the health benefits of running, this has been an incredible community building experience for our school. Students, parents, teachers, our physical education teacher and I have come out and experience the joy of teamwork, dedication, commitment and success."

Thomas K. Jones, Parent of 3 Jeff's Running Partners

"The program has proved to be one of the best and most enriching experience that each of my three children has experienced at the elementary school level. After running with Jeff's Running Partners, each of my daughters loved the experience so much that they each began running short distances on their own. Within the past year, each of them began competing in meets and competitions primarily because the Jeff's Running program taught them that running can be fun, social and fulfilling."

Jillian, 4th grader at Webster Hill Elementary

"It was my first time doing it and I had the time of my life running in Hartford. I love running and especially running with my two best friends Olivia and Sara. We had a great time running and after the race, my friends and I were already talking about next year!"

Vina, student at Webster Hill Elementary

"I loved running in the Hartford Half Marathon. It gives students a good chance to be athletic and to push themselves to run a mile. Some might run two miles like I did."

Sara, student as Webster Hill Elementary

"This year I thought was so fun and exciting to run with some of my friends and teachers."

Dylan, 5th grader at Webster Hill Elementary

"I love Jeff's Running Partners it is set up great and is an awesome experience. I ran for the first time in fourth grade and will keep running until the end of middle school because when I go to high school I'm going to do track and field. P.S. I'm going to run in the 5K in 7th grade because of Jeff's Running Partners."

Libby, student at Webster Hill Elementary

"I had an awesome time running 1 mile of the marathon. It's fun because you get to cheer people on that are running . And that you can run with your friends and your teachers. And the best part is crossing the finish line. That is my reason why I love the marathon."

Zoe, student at Webster Hill Elementary

"It was the best experience of running that I had in my whole life. I loved running in the marathon with the students and teachers of Webster Hill. I love running but running with some students and teachers was sooo much fun."
