Join in the Fun at Read/Run Marathon
Read/Run Marathon began this morning at 7am on the football field. We will be making laps around the football field every Monday through Thursday, 7:00 am to 7:45 am, for 10 weeks. It is your choice to run or walk, the days you will attend, and if you will attend the entire time or part of the time. The goal is for the participants to run/walk a total of 26.2 miles (a marathon) in 10 weeks and to read 26 books by January 10, 2013. We hope to see you here! Stay tuned for biweekly progress reports on this event!
