ENDORPHIN HIGH: Merrimack College, a Catholic institution near Boston, offers a course on "The Spirituality of Running," open only to serious runners as a religious studies elective. Students learn about the history of running going back to the first Olympic Games, which were actually a religious festival.
Besides reading essays on running, they view films such as Prefontaine, Chariots of Fire and Running Brave, and are expected to write seven brief reports on movies or stories about running and a personal essay on a spiritual running experience. The professor, who is also a coach for the college's cross country team, views running as a form of pilgrimage (Chronicle of Higher Education, January 6).
