To Earn Membership in the 100 Mile club:

From the end of school, until the first day of fall practice, an athlete must run and log in with one hundred or more miles on the streets, roads, field or woods, and write it down in a log of some sort. This can be miles run alone, with a running buddy, or in an off-season road race. The only requirement is that they be running miles, and not biking miles, on the ground rather than on a treadmill, and you should have fun with them.
