Youth Life has recently teamed up with Run Barefoot, a team of runners and walkers uniting to support the mission and vision of providing scholarship support for students to attend Barefoot Republic Camp, for the Country Music Half or Full Marathon on April 28th. Our efforts will allow YLLC students to attend Run Barefoot’s overnight camp this coming summer. Training entails long runs together on Saturday mornings and shorter runs together on Thursday evenings.
So what are some of the perks to running with our team?:
- Free training schedule
- Free nutrition plan
- Free fundraising tips
- If you reach the $1,000 goal, we’ll reimburse your race fee
- Free training shirt and jersey
- Free temporary membership to The Wellness Center at St. Thomas Hospital and Baptist Hospital for indoor training
- Dinner parties with other participants
How can you get started? Interested parties should indicate that you would like to run with the Youth Life Learning Centers team by emailing Candace Clippard at candace@barefootrepublic.org after you register, both through the Country Music Half or Full Marathon and for the Run Barefoot, where you will pay the registration fee. Receive $10 off registration when you use the code CLUBCMM when registering for the marathon.
How can I support the cause without running myself? Support Youth Life’s CEO, Yolanda Shields, as she runs the half marathon in April. Go to yllc.org and donate now.
You still have plenty of time to get some great training in and won’t have to work too hard to catch up with those who have already registered. The longer you wait, the more difficult training will be. Join our team and keep that 2012 New Years’ resolution and get fit while making a difference in your community.
