A record Homewood turnout for the Mercedes
The Mercedes Marathon was a districtwide event in Homewood this year. Motivated
by Homewood City Schools Wellness Coordinator Nivada Spurlock, 126 faculty and
staff members ran sporting their “We Are The M Class” gear.
HCS helped by preparing bags, volunteering at water stations, making relay signs and handing out hats at the finish line. This the largest participation HCS has had in the event.
“If it wasn’t for Nivada’s motivation, a lot of us wouldn’t be able to run and participate
at this event,” HCS employee Merrick Wilson said. “She has changed so many of our
lifestyles by showing us that fitness is fun, especially when you have your coworkers
there with you to keep you motivated and pushing on.”
