The purpose of the Fun Run is to stimulate interest in cardio-vascular endurance among students and to provide them with distance experience. The Fun Run will also allow students the opportunity to compete and compare their ability with others their age. The Fun Run is for all 4th and 5th grade students in the Midland Public Schools and Parochial schools.
Length: The Fun Run will be one mile run on the cross-country course at Stratford Woods. All races will begin near the pavilion.
Date: Friday, October 1, 2010. The first race will begin at 4:45 p.m. Stratford Woods City Park is located off Ashman near the US 10 Expressway. There is construction in the area and a detour. Please allow ample time to park.

- I am a physical education teacher in the Midland Public School District in Midland, MI. I have been teaching health and physical education for 19 years. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also love to watch sports. I especially enjoy watching the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings. My favorite part about teaching at Woodcrest is the students! The students at Woodcrest are awesome and so much fun to teach. Everyone likes to play with such enthusiasm. It makes my job so easy and very fun.
