Race for the Cure

[meganursula]

This is sort of a place holder.

Some of you know that i've been doing Race for the Cure (fundraiser for breast cancer treatment and research) for the past few years. This year i have a team. I encourage all of you to eithe join my team, or donate money to it.

Okay, some information about the race:

This is a 5K road race, which runs along the Alaskan Way Viaduct in downtown Seattle. A portion of your registration, plus any extra donations you can scare up, goes to breast cancer charities. This charity is run by Puget Sound Komen, which has an excellent rating in terms of their responsible use of the funds they raise.

The race itself is on June 16 this year. You can sign up for a women's only timed run, a co-ed timed run, a co-ed walk, or even a 'sleep in for the cure'. It is a nice route to run - lots of fun to look out over Puget Sound or downtown. If you are training for other things this summer, its a great way to break into the season. If you aren't, you can either use this event as inspiration to get some walking and running in this spring, or just plan to walk it with no advance preparation.

As an aside - last year i'd wanted to do a brunch or something, but it sort of fell through. If we get a good crowd this year i may try that again, or team shirts or something... No promises yet, but, if that sort of thing drives you, let me know.

Hope to see you there!

And plus this year you have to walk with me :P
hehehe

Gotta figure out the last few details, but I'd like to reserve your guest room, please :)

I'd like to join!

I think it's funny that neither the link you posted nor http://www.seattleraceforthecure.org/ tells me what the date is. :)

Okay, now that I found the date - I'm hoping I can make it, but I'm not sure. The schedule is tight with school, and I'm guessing I won't have a place to stay in Seattle at that point. But I will try!

I'm in!

I'm now juggling all kinds of things 'specially so I can somehow pull this off. :) Cuz, well, I miss you!

good point, are you walking or running this year? I will walk, but not run, as usual -- but I think I can actually make it. I'll join the team if there's another confirmed walker...

Do you have to run it "in the flesh"?

Can I bring my dogs? I bring them for the Jingle Bell Run, where I walk the 5K. I can do it in just under an hour. :)
