Dook Run
Each semester, as tradition dictates, the Marathon Team’s peak long run is a lengthy journey to the campus of Dook University (hell). We offer both a 10 and 20 mile route to Dook, perfect for those training to run either the full or half marathon at the team race. This event is always one of the semester’s major highlights! If you aren’t interested in running, you can still participate in the festivities by joining the Cheer Squad and helping set up aid stations along the route. After the run, we all get delicious Chipotle bowls, and sing “Hark the Sound” outside Dook Chapel.
Social Events:
In addition to running-related events, the team will host several social gatherings throughout each semester. Past events have included end of year banquets, holiday sock exchanges, team dinners, and halloween costume gatherings.
Volunteering:
Sport clubs like the Marathon Team provide our students with a unique opportunity to give back to the local community. Volunteering is an excellent way to boost team spirit and support those less fortunate than ourselves. We offer many volunteer programs throughout the school year, including Habitat for Humanity builds and APPLES Service Learning Expeditions.
