We had the most amazing participants and sponsors for Million Mile Month 2015. It made for a fantastic event! Take a look at what we accomplished and learn a bit more about our participants.
This year we are honored to be partnering with The Independent Running Retailer Association, and their 700+ stores, for Million Mile Month. One of those stores, Naperville Running Company, has been an all-star participating organization by promoting Million Mile Month to their employees, customers, and the news!
We love seeing how different participating organization take the Million Mile Month event and “run with it”!
Great interview, Kris Hartner! We thank you for the support and for participating in Million Mile Month 2015!
Dr. Charles Dupre, FBISD Superintendent (L) and Dr. Thomas Randle, LCISD Superintendent (R), are leading their school districts in a competition to see which district can log the most miles during Million Mile Month.
In 2014, FBISD had the most Million Mile Month registrants out of all participating organizations. This year, they are back with a bigger fitness goal, and brought some friends, LCISD, with them!
“Last year, we logged more miles than any other organization, making us the defending champions. This year, my friend and colleague, Dr. Thomas Randle of LCISD, accepted a challenge to try and beat our FBISD team. As superintendent, I know how well our FBISD community can work together on behalf of children. Our strength in teamwork makes Fort Bend ISD the team to beat,” said Dr. Dupre.
“We are dedicated to equipping our students with life skills, so Fort Bend ISD is eager to participate in a physical fitness challenge that helps children, reduces stress, and promotes wellness,” said Dr. Dupre.
Already nearly 5,000 FBISD staff members, students, parents, and community members have already accepted the challenge to log each mile they walk, run, swim, or bike through April 30. Together, the FBISD community is hoping to log more miles per participant than our neighbors at Lamar Consolidated.
Lamar CISD may be new to Million Mile Month this year, but they are bringing their A game! Check out this video they posted last week.

KXAN cover Million Mile Month 2015 Kick-Off at Austin City Hall Plaza
AUSTIN (KXAN) — We all know Austin is a pretty fit city. Wednesday kicks off the first day of Million Mile Month, and Austin is celebrating in style.
Fitness fanatics and casual athletes gathered at City Hall Wednesday. They’re encouraging people to track their physical activity in April and collectively run and walk a million miles to beat heart disease.
“Million Mile Month is about fighting that problem, that issue, in a fun way,” said Will Lindow, director of operations for Million Mile Month. “So it’s not kind of lecturing; it’s more about getting out there, getting active, having fun with your community and friends and family.”
Just hours after the nationwide campaign began, Texas is topping the state leaderboard with more than 2,000 miles. Austin is currently the leading city in the nation.
We are glad you stopped over to visit the Cyberways and Waterways (CW) blog. CW is a 501c3 non-profit that funds the Million Mile Month, Green Ribbon Schools and Healthivores programs. Learn more by visiting our website.
