How Did
P.A.C.E. Get Started?
In July 2005, Paul Staso had a discussion with his
then 10-year-old daughter, Ashlin, about the fitness level
of kids today. Ashlin suggested that they try to come up
with an idea to get the kids in her class more fit. Russell
Elementary School in Missoula, Montana agreed to the
challenge and it was decided that during the 2005-2006
school year the 4th and 5th grade students at Russell
Elementary would be two teams virtually
racing 3,200 miles across America by adding up their walking
and running mileage in P.E. each week. As a motivating
element, Paul promised that if either class could finish the
challenge within the 9-month school year that he would run
their route for real... solo. His research had shown that an
individual elementary class had not yet documented a
successful 3,000+ mile virtual run across America within a
single school year. The 41 fifth grade students ultimately succeeded
first (and the 56-member fourth grade team did soon
after, before summer). So, Paul ran solo across America
to keep his promise. You can see the kids' story at
pacetrek.com/seeusrun
and the fulfillment of Paul's promise to actually run across
the U.S. at
pacerun.com. Since 2006,
Paul has been organizing P.A.C.E. journeys so that kids
around the world can experience a virtual fitness/education
trek. What began with 97 students now involves thousands of
children each year from numerous countries around the globe.
Below is a TV news story about the 5th grade class
finishing first on April 25, 2006.
