What a blast! We had so much fun at the Mini Martian Marathon this past Saturday (4/12/14)! The weather was perfect! There were hundreds of runners! Our race started at noon and 39 Henry Ford Runners ran 1.2 miles to complete a Marathon – that’s 26.2 miles! I will post pictures soon! There were 4 other races going on that day. There was a full Marathon, Half Marathon, a 10K (6.2 miles) and a 5K(3.1 miles). I ran the 5K, which started at 8 am, which gave me plenty of time to go home, shower, change and make it back to get the Henry Ford Runners ready to run. Even though I didn’t win my race I had a lot of fun running with so many other runners.
A BIG THANK YOU to Mrs. Spencer and Ms. McCormick for all of their help handing out t-shirts, bandanas and race numbers. THANKS to the Mom’s helping out, too!!
THANK YOU Parents for letting your children run in this race! They were really excited to have you there to cheer them on!
We were so happy to see Mrs. Shupe at the race! She brought her children to cheer on her students and all of the students at Henry Ford!
In case you didn’t know this….the t-shirts were designed by 4th Grade (Mrs. Shupe’s class) Henry Ford student Abdallah Zaidalkilanie!!!! How exciting to see his design on all of the t-shirts!
We can’t wait for our next race! Maybe it will be the D.E.F.F. Unity Run!
