Over the months of October through April, students use their logbook to track fitness and nutrition activities. Their goal is to run a total of 26.2 miles (the equivalent distance of a marathon). Miles are accomplished through the running club which is one after school session per week and home activities.
For every 10 miles run kids receive and incentive prize. Along the way club member participate in local 1 to 3 mile races. The programs finale is the Y.A.M.
