	Runathon Day Weather Report...


	We know that whatever the weather, the Chapin community will be in attendance to make this another successful Runathon in support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and Chapin’s Financial Aid Endowment. The predictions range from partial sun, to rain and possible thunder storms. Please come prepared for it all! Pack sun block, hat (for sun or rain), extra socks, a rain coat, fluids to stay hydrated. Instructions IF there are thunderstorms during the day: All participants must immediately leave the course and quickly go into the gym. We will stay in the gym until thirty minutes have passed from the last thunderclap. Once back outside, please resume your walk/run where you left the course. The pasta dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m.

	Save the date for this year's 35th annual Chapin Runathon. You heard right, Chapin has been running for a cause since 1976-77, when Steve Gingo organized the very first event. Of course, back then it was called “a marathon of endurance” with runners running in six or eight person teams. Each runner would run a mile, then wait for the relay of the other runners on his or her team to finish before starting the next mile. After two years as a 24-hour event, the Runathon was adjusted to one day, enabling broader participation from the school community. Today, students from all grades, as well as family members and friends join to run or walk for a worthy cause. This year the Chapin community will run for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as well as Chapin's Endowment for Financial Aid.

	Running for a Cause...
