Track and Field's Run-A-Thon this weekend

The Augsburg men's and women's track and field team is taking part in its annual Run-A-Thon fundraiser this weekend -- Saturday and Sunday (12/6-7). The team will attempt to run 200 miles in a 24-hour period, running laps around Murphy Square Park in the middle of campus. One team member will be running at all times during the 24-hour period, and the Kennedy Center will be open during the relay for warmth, rest and food.

Money raised from the Run-A-Thon will go to costs for the team's Spring Break trip to southern California (the team will compete at meets at Occidental College on March 13-14). You can show your support by pledging a certain amount of money per mile run.

For more information or to pledge your support, contact head coach Dennis Barker at barkerd@augsburg.edu or 612-330-1435, or contact any track and field team member.
