@3. Headline Briefs 14 no:Fryelands Elementary School runners cover a lot of ground

Together with runners of all ages in the University of Washington Medical Center’s Seattle Kids Marathon, 16 members of the Fryelands Elementary School’s Running Club completed their last mile and half to meet their goal of running 26.5 miles, the length of a marathon.

The Fryelands Running Club’s focus is on health and fitness with cardio activities.

Starting in early October, almost all of the club’s 60 members arrived before school four mornings a week to run for 30 minutes along Fryelands Boulevard.

Motorists may have spotted the troupe in their red Fryelands pinnies.

Maureen O’Brien, physical education teacher at Fryelands, started the running club 10 years ago with only six students. With help of Amy Stimac, Fryelands’ first-grade teacher who volunteered with O’Brien, the group tracks its progress until all had accomplished 25 miles together.
