33rd Mile Marathon!
Columbine students hit the neighborhood streets on May 21 for the 33rd annual Mile Marathon. As in years past, students were joined by a number of elite athletes and members of the local Boulder running community. Also this year, Columbine collected more than 1,000 pairs of shoes to donate to the One World Running project that sends shoes to those in need around the world. This year's event was highlighted in the Daily Camera as well as in a great column by Running Times managing editor Brian Metzler.
