Run like a shark is chasing you is a virtual run where I am encouraging kids to stay active and get out and run. A virtual run is a run that you do by yourself. However this virtual run has a twist. We will meet up for 3 runs. We already have done one meet up run. The medal that the participants will receive is the medal I designed. Each kid will run 13.1 miles, which is a half marathon distance.
The meet ups that we are going to do are going to be on the 1st , middle mile, and the last 13.1 mile. Our first mile meet up did VERY well. We had 2 participants . We will meet up at different locations each time to enjoy new running routes.
We met up at Little Mulberry Park. I gave a speech on how to run and how to stay with it. I handed out mark off charts for the kids to keep a record of each mile they run. After that we started the run. After we finished the run I handed out a granola bars and a bottled water to everyone.
I had so much fun putting this together. I can't wait to do the next meet up.
