Our 6th annual Running Challenge kicked off this week. This year the students will “run” loops of cycling’s 2015 Road World Championships course which takes place in downtown Richmond. The course for the road circuit is a little over 10 miles and I have challenged the students to run over 240 loops of the course (around 2,500 miles). Clearly, that was not enough! This week we set a new record for miles in a week with students in grades k-8 running/walking over 550 miles! Below are a few images from the week.

Students in grades 1-3 started off the running challenge together on Monday morning.

Students were excited to see the map of our “run” course and were quick to point out all of the places they have visited.

Several classes have had the opportunity to run together, with older students encouraging younger students.
