100 Mile Club

The official “100 Mile Club” is an established, proven and successful program based on the following philosophy: “We believe that every single individual has the ability to achieve true personal success and a new level of physical fitness by Accepting the Challenge of running (or walking) 100 Miles at school during a single school year. These feelings of true personal success and fitness are ones that will carry an individual to new levels of achievement in academics, athletics, and life.” Many of us at Namaqua Elementary share this same philosophy and are excited to offer the program at our school. In order to meet the goal of running 100 miles during the school year, your child will need to run between 4 and 5 miles a week, September thru April. Some students may add miles more quickly than others, however all students will be awarded each time they reach a MILEstone and all students achieving their 100 mile goal will be celebrated at our year-end ceremony. This is not a race. Your child does not need to run every day to reach his/her goal, but does need to continue to add miles each week throughout the year in order to meet his/her goals.
