             BISMARCK HIGH - WACHTER MIDDLE SCHOOL 

                                RUN-A-THON

​

On Sunday, September 10th, at 6:30pm at the MDU Resources Community Bowl, the Bismarck and Wachter cross-country teams will participate in the first annual Run-A-Thon.  Runners should arrive early, and be ready to run at 6:30pm sharp! Runners will run for a designated amount of time. (See your coach for specific instructions).

 

Runners will collect money from donors prior to the event with 100% of the money raised going towards our cross-country programs.  The money will be used for post practice/meet nutritional supplements, training aids such as rollers/sticks, and travel expenses.  

​

All parents and donors are encouraged to participate by walking or running on the track as well if they so choose.  The faster paced runners will use the inside lanes of the track while parent walkers will use the outside lanes.

 

At the conclusion of the run-a-thon Runners and parents are encouraged to hang around for post run-a-thon refreshments and snacks.   

 

We sincerely appreciate your support in this run-a-thon!  We are excited about this event and hope to make this an enjoyable annual event!

​

See you at the Run-A-Thon!

Coach Reichenberger, Anderson, Nein, and Unterseher
