Annual Angel Mile Run promotes healthy start to new school year

Incarnate Word Academy held their 10th Annual Angel Mile Run on Aug.19 at the school’s training site located at Our Lady of Corpus Christi. The training site, which includes a one-mile trail, offers a safe training environment for student-athletes to run on. Students from IWA’s Elementary, Middle, and High School Levels took on this one-mile challenge along with families, faculty, staff, friends, and alumni.
 
“IWA’s annual Angel Mile event provides a healthy start to the school year,” IWA Coach Donald Patterson said. “It encourages students and families to stay healthy and have fun at the same time.”
 
At the end of the school year, students will clock another mile to assess their physical condition improvement from the start of the year.
