Changing Course: They're Going the Extra Miles

IMAGINE RUNNING A MARATHON. Then another the next day. And another the next day. Since May 4, that's pretty much been the life of Matt Hill and Stephanie Tait, a Canadian duo running 11,000 miles across the U.S. and Canada to inspire environmental action (Runforoneplanet.com). Apparently, they sometimes stop long enough to chat about their mission to raise money and convince folks to go green. See them for yourself as their route brings them to D.C. On Tuesday at 6 p.m., they're visiting the Logan Circle Lululemon (1461 P St. NW, 202-518-4075), and on Wednesday at 6 p.m. they'll swing by Ballston's Potomac River Running (3924 Wilson Blvd., 703-243-2332). Both nights, they'll be leading 5k fun runs and chatting about topics like eating locally and composting. Feel inspired? Donations are happily accepted. Or on Tuesday, buy a performance top from local eco-clothing brand Atayne (which is hosting the event) and 10 percent of the proceeds will go to their cause.
