A North Dakota State University student is
preparing to run 400 miles to raise $10,000 for charity.
Ben Clark plans to run a 3-mile loop around the NDSU campus 135
times. He's scheduled to start at 3 p.m. Sunday and run until 3
p.m. next Sunday, Aug. 19.
The 21-year-old Clark wants to raise at least $10,000 for the
American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association. His mother has
multiple sclerosis and his father has a nerve disorder.
Clark says he has
finished 10 ultramarathons, which are events longer than the
classic marathon distance of 26.2 miles.
The Minot resident ran 366 miles across North Dakota in less
than seven days to raise money to help that city recover from a
devastating flood.
