Paul Staso, Founder and President of The P.A.C.E. Fitness Foundation (P.A.C.E. being ‘Promoting Active Children Everywhere’), has run solo across the United States in 2006, solo across Montana in 2008, and solo through Alaska in 2009. Now, the 44-year-old husband, father of four and ultra-endurance athlete will push a jogging stroller of gear and virtually trek with thousands of children worldwide over a 500-mile course through Germany between March 8 and March 30, 2010.
“The Germany challenge, called P.A.C.E. Trek 2010, is my way of trying to make an impact in the decline of youth health and fitness,” Staso says. “The trek through Germany will require me to average nearly a marathon per day for 21 days. I’ll be virtually traveling with teams of school children from across the U.S.A. as well as many other countries as they access my “online classroom”, www.pacetrek.com/germany, and learn about the locations we’re trekking through via my writings, pictures and media files.” Free school team registration is now open. For the most recent P.A.C.E. Trek (Alaska in May 2009), Staso had 22,515 school children from 10 countries participate – logging a cumulative distance of 118,002 miles during the three-week endeavor
