RUNNER TO RACE KIDS ACROSS MONTANA IN 2008
One man pushing a jogging stroller of gear will attempt a 610-mile solo run across the state of Montana during the Spring of 2008. Paul Staso accomplished a 3,260-mile solo run across the United States in 2006 to keep a promise to elementary children in Missoula, Montana. Now he’s returning to the road in order to encourage more kids to be active and fit.
“The trek across Montana is my way of trying to make an impact in the problem of childhood obesity and the continuing decline of youth health and fitness,” Staso says. “The 17-day east-to-west journey across Montana will require me to average 36 miles per day from the Great Plains to the Rocky Mountains. I’ll be virtually racing teams of children from various parts of the globe as they access my web site,pacetrek.com, and learn about the locations we’re traveling through together via journal entries, pictures and videos.”
