BRODHEAD - Students at Brodhead Middle School participated in the second annual Save the Children World Marathon Challenge.
The World Marathon Challenge is a global race in which children from around the world will form teams to run a relay - totaling the distance of a full marathon - to raise awareness of the needs of children in the U.S. and around the world. Individual team events will take place on a date in October, with the international day of competition on Oct. 23, when hundreds of teams will run simultaneously. The event raises funds and awareness for Save the Children's programs in the United States and globally.
T.O.O.L. and Co., Brodhead Middle School's team of Outstanding Leaders and fellow classmates; the Brodhead Optimist Club; and Save the Children met at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19 at Brodhead High School track, 2501 W 5th Ave.
