Hey! Welcome!

Welcome to The Official Blog of The 100 Mile ClubTM! Woohoo!

This is the place where I get to share all that happens throughout the year with the evolution and growth of The 100 Mile ClubTM. Who knows where we'll go! Just like the 100 Mile Club itself, we will go wherever this takes us.

I have told a few people how selfish I feel sometimes that I get to hear so many positive stories and see so many amazing things when I visit schools, read emails, and talk to our 100 Mile Club Head Coaches all over the state (and now the country!). Here's the place where I am able to share what I get to see and experience. It's so fun!!

Now. Here's the nitty-gritty real quick, just so you'll know:

• We're going to be casual. Seriously. No airs will be put on here. I'll learn as I go, so bear with me as we change and improve.

• If you want to submit something here...anything: a story, a thought, whatever...please do so by emailing us at info@100mileclub.com. We want to share all the positive happenings at all of our chapters. We have over 10,000 participants this year, and with that comes over 10,000 stories! Parents, teachers, friends, students...tell us your stories! :)

• The 100 Mile Club is an all volunteer non-profit organization. We are real people who are working extremely hard to bring The 100 Mile Club to as many people as possible. Every cent donated through membership fees, sponsorships, and events stays right here with us and helps us further The 100 Mile ClubTM mission.

The mission of The 100 Mile Club is to provide to all individuals the opportunity to experience the powerful feeling of fitness and TRUE personal success by Accepting the Challenge of running (or walking) 100 miles at school during a single school year.

Our philosophy is simple.

We believe that every single student has the ability to achieve true personal success and a new level of physical fitness by Accepting the Challenge of running (or walking) 100 miles at school or work during a single school year. These feelings of true personal success and fitness are ones that will carry a student to new levels of achievement in all areas: academics, athletics, and implementation of the valuable life skills identified in the blocks of Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success.
