oN YOUR MARKS...the Lakeview Half-Marathon is starting soon! 

The Half-Marathon is a special two-week event in which students can run, walk, or even skip laps around the field during recess. The goal is to get the kids moving while having fun and fostering a sense of community and school spirit.

The Half-Marathon will take place during lunch recess every day from Monday April 22 through Friday May 3 and is an optional activity.

• Finishing a 10K (6.2 miles)
• A half-marathon (13.1 miles)
• A marathon (26.2 miles)
