As an Amish tour business owner and guide, I’m interested in learning more about the Amish culture.\u00a0 While I was going through the mail a few days ago I\u00a0found my daughter’s April 2012\u00a0subscription to Runner’s World<\/em> magazine.\u00a0 A caption on the front cover caught my eye, “Bart Yasso Runs With the Amish (And They’re Fast!)”.\u00a0 If you are a runner or not, it is an interesting read regarding Pennsylvania’s Dutch Country Anabaptists producing strong, fast runners.\u00a0 Anabaptists are Christians that practice adult baptism instead of infant baptism.\u00a0 They adhere to humility, hard work, and a simple life.\u00a0 Yasso mentions meeting and running with\u00a0Mennonites, more progressive Anabaptists, and Old Order Amish, a very conservative branch of the Anabaptists.\u00a0The Mennonites\u00a0would wear\u00a0the usual running apparel, but the Amish men\u00a0had to wear black pants with suspenders and button-down shirts while running–typical\u00a0dress for Old Order Amish.\u00a0 He\u00a0stated that an Amish lady ran wearing a long skirt and a head covering.\u00a0 But, they could all wear running shoes.\u00a0 Another interesting part of the story was that they ran by the light of the moon.<\/p>\n

I could tell you more about the article, but I want you to read it for yourself, therefore, I’m including a link to the article:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.runnersworld.com\/article\/1,7120,s6-243-297–14236-0,00.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Yasso does a great job of explaining the\u00a0Pennsylvania Amish culture.\u00a0 The Amish of SE Minnesota are a more conservative group of Old Order Amish also known as the Swartzentruber Amish.\u00a0 I’m not sure if their elders would allow them to participate in marathons like the Amish out east. I will have to check with a few of the local Amish to see if any are interesting in running for sport.\u00a0 If it draws attention or shows pride, they probably are not allowed to do so, but if it is for exercise and encourages others to run for fun, maybe it would be allowed.<\/p>\n

All this reading about running almost makes me want to become a runner . . . time will tell!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
