Meeting the Challenge

Posted: July 6, 2011

The Go for 42 and Mango Kids Fun Run on was held on Sunday, July 3rd. Students from kindergarten to grade 8 in School Districts 16, 9 and 11 participated. A total of 260 crossed the finish line of the 2.2km run that hopefully instilled in them the joy of running and the value of physical activity. Croft Elementary School was recognized as having the largest participation with 21% of its students attending.  Many of the students on Sunday were completing the final phase of marathon challenge, to go a total of 42.2 kilometers, a challenge they had started at their schools earlier in the spring.
