Ready, Set, Film!

This winter, 15 Mighty Milers and Young Runners teams from across the country took part in "Ready, Set, Film!" Each team received a Flip ^TM camera to make videos exploring the "New Year, New Beginnings" theme.

These runners showed great team spirit in introductions that included handmade signs and creative cheers, shared their health and fitness goals for the upcoming year, and spelled out 2011 using nothing but themselves! They also strutted their stuff wearing New Year's party hats and wished viewers "Happy New Year!" in Spanish, Russian, Swedish, and sign language, just to name a few.

Check out the videos from Mighty Milers below or visit this page to watch the Young Runners' videos.

A special thanks to all of the participating schools and also to John Henry Boudreaux, who edited the videos.
