Helene Neville, transcontinental runner and motivational speaker, visited the Cool Kids Club at North Elementary Thursday to tell the students to "never give up" and "stay focused." Neville is running a circuit through every state in the U.S., and her circuit through the midwest this week brought her to Sidney.
Transcontinental runner Helene Neville visited North Elementary Thursday to speak with students in the Cool Kids Club program.
Neville is attempting to run through every state in the contiguous United States. Having already run every state along the perimeter, Neville is pursuing a circuit through midwest states.
Her efforts in Nebraska take her through Sidney this week.
"I started at the state line north of Chadron and I'm coming straight down (Highway) 385," Neville said. "It's obviously one of the shorter distances from the state line to the opposing state lines, but, logistically speaking, it's pretty tough."
The route offers little to no services, Neville said, and is largely void of people and towns.
Neville's efforts to run across every state can be followed live online via oneontherun.com.
