Fun running ideas?

Question

i have recently decided to be the girls cross country captain and i need some ideas for a fun run to get people motivated to start training again since last year didnt turn out so well

Answer 1

OH! Im on the cross country team at my high school, and every year we have a mystery run.  It's directed by the seniors and/or captains, and they take everyone to random places (Jamba Juice, people's houses).  You can pick people up along the way, and set up games and obstacles along the course.  It's really fun.

Answer 2

make sure that you don't go to the same place every day.

Answer 3

well you could try changing the location of where you run to somewhere new and interesting

or have rewards for them if they beat their previous time(popsicle, something to cool them down)

Answer 4

do a scavenger hunt run, plan to run from someones house who has a pool and swim after, host a post run brunch at your house if you run in the morning or plan to run to a cafe, such as le bus. Do a team sleepover and make team t-shirts. Host a midnight run and run when it is dark(good to do at sleep over) During the year do team spirit and breakfast on meet days and have people bring in bagels and cereal to eat and dress up in a theme( red and black, school colors, dresses and runing shoes etc..)
