IMAGINE RUNNING ON BEHALF OF A CHILD IN NEED.
IMAGINE EVERY CHILD HAVING AN ADVOCATE.
IMAGINE RUNNING FOR A REASON.
With the temps outside unfavorable to running, many shy away from a commitment that carries a sizable effort. Yet, many look to a cause to be the driving engine of MOTIVATION. You have nearly a month, before the greatest season of your life is gonna launch.
I am embarking on the biggest challenge I have ever faced. I am recruiting, training, and running with more than 400 runners to complete the California International Marathon. YES, you read it correctly.
In four years of Running for a Reason, we have a 100% race completion rate of our more than 100 runners. But the stakes are going higher!
Attention all cubicle working dads and soccer moms, your motivation has just landed in your lap.
Seasoned runners who have always done it for the medal, your challenge just became cause centric.
Former athletes looking for rhyme and reason to get back in shape...now it your time!
THIS IS YOUR MOMENT TO BE GREAT FOR A CHILD!
No one is excluded and there are levels for people of all levels of activity or lack of activity. From the full marathon to the 2 mile walk or jog MaraFUNrun, there is a distance for you.
If you can't, will you tell someone who will?
GO THE EXTRA MILE
When you Run for a Reason, you can choose your distance. Our team of certified personal trainers have created specific walking and running groups with personalized running plans based on levels of fitness.
If you are not able to run the entire 26.2 mile race, grab a friend and partner to run a two-person relay. Or grab two more runners and divide the 26.2 mile course into a four-person relay. Walkers can be part of the 2.62 mile MaraFUNrun. Regardless of your ability and fitness level, begin training today. There is a place for you.
THE GOAL
Extra Mile Runners collect sponsored dollars and cents for every mile they run. The goal is for each runner to raise $1000! Every dime goes to cover back pack, academic supplies, school shoes and clothes, enhanced nutrition, and on-going health care enrollment support, family care.
One hundred percent of what is raised goes to secure these needs for every student. The fundraising part is second to the primary goal, raising awareness for the kid's plight.
CHOOSE YOUR DREAM DISTANCE
Full Marathon: 1 Runner @ 26.2 Miles
Half Marathon: 2 Runners @ 13.1 Miles
Marathon Relay: 4 Runners @ 5.9 Miles, 7.6 Miles, 7 Miles, 5.7 Miles
MarFUNrun: 1 Runner @ 2.62 Miles
"WHERE DO I START?"
More appropriately, is “when do I start?” Begin a cardio-fitness workout as soon as possible. Consult your physician if you are not currently active. If you are active, build a base that can jog three miles in less than 33 minutes by August 1. We will take it from there.
Then, join us at the Run for a Reason Expo on Sunday, July 12 at 1:00-2:00 PM in the Chapel at Capital Christian Center. (Westside of building, enter near the fountains & follow the signs.)
