At the end of the day over 40 people showed up and every one of them logged AT LEAST 1 lap. As a group they logged 984 laps &#8211; that&#8217;s 246 miles!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year more and more folks show up throughout the day to run or walk a lap. Even though 2020 had lower attendance due to Covid our top runner logged 55 miles in 12 hours but then in 2021 we went right back to it where we had over 80 runners and our top runner ran over 50 miles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will have several coolers with cold drinks and delicious snacks. We will also have some chairs and a canopy to relax under. Bring your families; several kids run every year; all ages are welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come out, get some fresh air and get some steps in. Walk a lap or run many. Or bring a book and just hang out with us all day. Many of us are using this as training for upcoming endurance runs, so your presence alone will motivate us &#8211; we need the help!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Runners will be responsible for counting their own laps, we use an honor system. There will be a chalkboard at the aid station where participants can keep track and update their lap count.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If for any reason we have to leave the track (due to school activities, etc.) we will temporarily run a half mile blacktop loop directly across the street in the park until we are able to return back to the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re hoping that there will be port-o-pottys available at the track, they usually are. Otherwise there are permanent restrooms at the park located across the street (about a quarter mile away, that distance counts!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A free social pedestrian event at a local high school track.&nbsp;This training session operates on the honor system, allowing participants to complete as many laps as they choose over a 12-hour period.
