After running multiple miles throughout the school year, Westside Elementary School students’ marathon ended with a splash of color.
During the final 1 mile run/walk around the Westside neighborhood, staff and parents tossed color as students reached the finish line last month.
To qualify for the marathon, kindergarten and first-graders needed to run 12 miles over the course of the school year. Second- and third-graders had to log 18 miles, while fourth- and fifth-grade students ran 25 miles to qualify.
Westside no longer keeps track of the top runners.
PE teacher Luke Robertson thanked sponsors for this year’s marathon, including McDonald’s, Pepsi, the Westside Student Council and the Westside Parent Group.
“I would also like to thank all of the staff and parents who helped the event go smoothly,” he said.
