Kid's Missoula Marathon

I am trying to get the word out to the parents/guardians about this years' Kids Marathon in Missoula!  This is the 5th year the Missoula Marathon has been going and it is such a success!  It has done so well that is has been featured in Runners World, as the Best Overall Marathon and won this years' State of Montana's 2011 Tourism Event of the Year award!  That is amazing achievement for only have been going since 2006!  Included in the Missoula Marathon & Half Marathon, is a Kids Marathon.  Don't worry, kids don't have to run 26.2 miles all at once!  What they do is print out a log sheet and keep track of the miles (or part miles) they run up until July 8.  They will want to run 25 miles by then, and on Saturday, July 9, they finish their marathon with a 1.2 run on the course in Missoula!  It is a great way to break a huge accomplishment into smaller parts!  I would LOVE to see St. Ignatius represented by having lots of kids participating!  Go to Run Wild Missoula for more information!  Also, email me to let me know your child(ren) is participating!
