Adventure Racing
Middle school teacher Dan DeJager (Churchill Middle School, CA) developed Adventure Racing CORE (Cooperative Obstacle Racing Experience) to make fitness activities more enjoyable for students. Adventure Races can be used as a teaching style that facilitates the learning of skills and concepts as students also work on their personal fitness goals. Download an example of an Adventure Race on the left. For more information, see DeJager's book Adventure Racing Activities for Fun and Fitness from Human Kinetics or download examples below.

Interval Running Games
Running the mile is not only boring to many students but it is also less effective at improving their running times when compared to interval training. The following fun games are just three examples of interval running games modified from Steve McLaughlin (Westview High School, California). Try these, and then create your own with your students' help!
