This year, 171 Washington Elementary School students in the Bethel Park School District participated in the school’s WE Run Club, to train together for the Pittsburgh Marathon’s Kids of Steel Marathon. To prepare, Washington students run 24 miles during recess in the months leading up to the Kids Marathon, where they run their 26th and final mile. Their training at school culminates when they run their 25th mile during an evening WE Run One Mile Trail Event on the Washington Trail. This year’s WE Run Trail Event winners were third-graders Cami Fisher (left) and Brady Bruckner (right). This is the seventh year that the WE Run Club has helped Washington students to reach their goal of running 26 miles.
