A Beaver Dam Middle School teacher has organized a run around the middle school area on Sunday to raise money to fight multiple sclerosis.
BDMS teacher Nikki Cahen organized the runs and the running paths. She will be running with others throughout the day on Sunday.
She will run for half an hour and will then take a half-hour break. Each hour she will begin the run again from the middle school.
The middle school will be open for those waiting to join the run after 8 a.m.
Cahen said she is hoping to be done by 6 p.m., but runners can join her anytime.
The four-mile route will be leaving the front doors of the middle school onto Fourth Street, then turning right on Beaver Street and right on Water Street. From there the runners will turn right on Haskell Street and right onto Water Street. They will turn right on Maple Avenue and left on Mary Street and then left on Mackie Street. They will then follow Lakeshore Drive all the way to Waterworks Park and turn on Denning Avenue at the top of the hill. From there they will turn right on Center Street, left on Carrol Street and right on Grove Street, which leads back to the school. The runners will finish the four-mile course by taking Spring Street to the front doors of the school.
The three-mile route will have runners going left on Spring Street and then taking a left-hand turn onto York Street and then turning right onto Gilmore Avenue. The runners then will turn right onto Gilmore Avenue and left onto DeClark Street. They will follow DeClark until they reach Kenyon Lane. They will then turn left and then another left onto Grove Street. They will turn right onto Burnett Street and then make a left to Mary Street before making a left onto Mackie Street. They will then take a right onto Center Street and left onto Fourth and run back in the front doors of the school.
