Earlier in the school year, West Middle School incorporated a walk-jog marathon into its intramural sports programming.
Students, staff and parents met twice a week for a period of time in an attempt to meet their goal of walking, jogging or running 26.2 miles, which equals a marathon distance.
West had an outstanding turnout of 62 total participants. Members of the group moved around the perimeter of the school when the weather was nice and took their work inside on bad days.
Eventually, 37 members of the group reached their goal and earned a T-shirt, thanks to Renaissance Chiropractic Center, located on Wick Road in Taylor. The T-shirt ran: "We Run This School."
As a group, the effort covered over 950 miles.
