Yesterday Kate was the first kid to cross the finish line to complete a marathon for Running Club!!!
Running Club is an after-school program that meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30-3pm (weather permitting). Kids from kindergartner-3rd grade can participate. The kids run/walk for the allotted time around a set track. One lap on the track is equal to an 1/8th of a mile. Each lap gets marked off and the first kid that reaches 26 miles has officially completed a marathon. Kids lined up to cheer on Kate as she came to the finish line. 3 laps later, a 2nd grade boy finished behind her. We are proud of Kate's accomplishment!
Kate collapsed at the finish line.
Mr Yeaman (Kate's 2nd grade teacher and Running Club coordinator) was so proud of Kate!
