Attention Maples runners!  Would you like to train for and run the Running Fit Martian Kid’s Marathon on Saturday, April 22nd?  Mrs. Wolski and Mrs. Wozniak hope your answer is YES!

The way it works is from now until race day, you will run 25 miles on your own (or with Girls Running Club if you are in 4th-5th grade).  You can record you miles using this log.  On race day, all students will run the final 1.2 miles and receive a marathon medal for the accomplishment!

Here’s a training plan you can follow from now until race day to help you complete your miles: https://www.martianraces.com/images/trainingsched.pdf
