Uncle Norm has taken up running. But there’s a problem. The only place he has to run is his backyard, and it isn’t very big.  If Uncle Norm’s going to make it to the Olympic Games one day, he’ll have to learn about distances! We meet Glenroy, a gold medal-winning athlete who tells the Rads about distances and how athletes run around the track.

The Gist: This episode is about the metre and its relationship to the kilometre, which is demonstrated using measuring tools and real-world examples that illustrate how we measure linear distances (including extremely long lengths).
