The children at Parkdale Elementary play Duck Duck Goose on the playground at recess. The children form a circle and then James goes around the circle tapping each child on the head saying "Duck". After tapping a few children, James then taps David on the head and says "Goose," after which both boys run in opposite directions around the circle to see who can reach the empty spot in the circle first.

If the circle of children has a diameter of 99​​ meters, approximately how far do James and David have to run to complete their race around the entire circle? Use an appropriate approximation for π​, and you may round your answer to one decimal place.
