Most of them had never run more than three miles, but through discipline and hard work, all of them finished a very rigorous 13.1-mile course, mostly uphill. “This is a great group of kids that have proven they can finish what they start, both physically and mentally,” commented Running Club sponsor Lelia Demuth. The club is an element of the Holbrook School District’s Healthy Holbrook campaign.
