The purpose of virtual running/walking treks is for elementary students to gain greater fitness while at the same time learning about the locations where they virtually travel. It's through this combination of fitness and learning that students experience places beyond their playground in a unique and challenging way. This web site was developed by Paul Staso of The P.A.C.E. Fitness Foundation and has acquire visitor traffic from around the world. Russell Elementary School in Missoula, Montana has been the starting point for several virtual trek curriculums, including: the 2005-2006 virtual run across America; the 2007-2008 virtual run along Route 66; and now the 2009-2010 run to and through the national parks of the northwest United States.
