MRC Sponsors a National Geographic Kids Initative

On Oct 26th, starting at noon, people around the country will be running 100 meters each in an effort to break the Guinness World Record for most people to run 100 meters in 24 hours. The Maury Running Club will be encouraging students, staff, family and friends to head to the school and take the challenge.



You can join us at the following times:
Oct 26th 12:05-1:35
Oct 26th 3:30-4:00
Oct 27th 10am-noon

You MUST check in at the security desk by the front door before participating. 

As if promoting running all over the country wasn't enough, NGK added recycling to the challenge as well! National Geographic Kids will also be collecting old sneakers. After the sneakers are collected, they will be tied together to break the record for the longest chain of shoes, then recycled into athletic surfaces such as basketball courts and running tracks. MRC will have a collection bucket on site to add to the effort. 

We hope to see you there with your old sneakers in hand!
