North Bay Vikings participate in “Marathon Madness” on our track during their lunch recess time. Marathon Madness will take place from Monday, April 3rd through Friday, May 26th. Students will be asked to walk or run two laps per day. They may choose to complete more than two per day. Students will earn prizes for completing a pre-set number of laps.
