St. Louis, MO -- Mid-America Chapter
Is running or walking a half marathon on your bucket list?
Team Challenge, the endurance training and fundraising program of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America, can help you achieve your fitness goals and cross the finish line. By joining, you can challenge yourself, change lives and help find cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, which affect nearly 1 in 200 Americans, including 140,000 children.
Team Challenge is recruiting for the Las Vegas Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon (November 17, 2013). Run or walk past world-famous attractions on this flat, fast course. Receive an expenses paid trip to Vegas, while you fundraise to get us closer to the cures for Crohn’s and colitis. The 16-week training sessions in St. Louis, led by two professional coaches, will run every Saturday morning 7AM from July 27 through November 10. No previous experience necessary - walkers and beginners welcome!
