Physical Activity Participation

During our second year implementing a running club, we teamed up with Fuel Up to Play 60, 100 Mile Club, Healthy Kids Club, and New Balance's 1 Billion Mile Race to improve our school record by offering incentives such as lanyards, water bottles, and t-shirts. By doing this we increased our participation from around 100 students to over 350, and increased our mileage from 450 miles a year ago to over 2000 miles, which gets us within 500 miles of our 2500 mile goal with just under 2 months left in the year.

How did you accomplish your goals?

We have not yet accomplished our goal, but we think with 2 months left in the school year and being just 500 miles short, we will reach our goal by the end of the school year.
