The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) is hosting combined info sessions, fun runs and wine tastings for their upcoming Team Challenge season. Through Team Challenge, participants can run or walk 13.1 miles, or train for a triathlon or cycling event while helping to find a cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, two chronic and often debilitating digestive diseases that impact more than 1.4 million Americans.
Those interested in participating will have the opportunity to run either the Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon in Las Vegas or the Palm Beaches Marathon. Participants will join CCFA in their goal to raise more than $160,000 to support research for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and work towards finding a cure.
In addition to the improved health, camaraderie and support gained, participants receive:
--Personalized fitness training by an experienced coach for a period of three to four months.
--Expenses-paid weekend away to a great destination race.
--A supportive team to train with each week.
--Training clinics and helpful tips on topics like nutrition, hydration, injury prevention and shoe fit.
--Team Manager, a dedicated staff person from CCFA who coordinates team events, guides you through fundraising, and is your #1 personal cheerleader.
--Mentor, a past participant of Team Challenge who can show you the ropes and be your personal fundraising coach.
--Team uniform including a training shirt and race day singlet.
Individuals interested in learning more about the Team Challenge program are encouraged to attend a commitment free, informational meeting.
