Hello RMHC Volunteers! Team RMHC is back and this year we are taking on the Whidbey Island Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and 5K races on Sunday, April 13, 2014 (whidbeyislandmarathon/). So whether youre a runner or a walker, need a New Years resolution or this is your 1st or 72nd race - there is a distance for everyone and the team is a supportive and encouraging group to have alongside. Not to mention a fun way to support RMHC. The race course is a scenic route that winds through country back roads and includes gorgeous ocean views. The full course even runs over the Deception Pass Bridge! There is truly something for each and every type of athlete. Registration is now open and Team RMHC members can receive a 10% discount by using the code RMHC2014 during the checkout process. Registration can be found here: whidbeyislandmarathon/race-events/registration-information/. Race costs through December 31, 2013 are listed below and very reasonable in the world of races. Full - $75; Half - $55; 10K - $35; 5K - $25 We ask that Team RMHC members try to raise $250 or more by asking friends and family for support. This process is made easy by creating a personalized webpage that can be sent along via email, posted to social media and that accepts credit card donations. Over the past three years Team RMHC members have raised a whopping $188,000! Team RMHC members will receive a custom t-shirt, an invitation to a pre-race dinner, the chance to win exciting fundraising prizes, the opportunity to participate in team training run/walks, and more! We are excited to welcome local running coach and fellow volunteer, Vicki Schott, back again this year. She will generously lend her training knowledge and expertise to team members - including one-on-one support. We will meet up for our first team training (participation is optional) on Saturday, January 4th at RMHC. Please join us in the morning for a 3-mile run/walk and treats afterwards. So whos with us? We want this year to be the biggest yet!! Even if you cant take part, please help by sharing this information with your friends, family, co-workers and anyone who might be interested. Ive attached a poster that can be printed (we also have copies available at the House) and displayed in workplace, gyms, churches, etc. Both individuals and teams are welcome to sign up. Workplaces are a great place to recruit! Please contact me with any questions or get started as a member of Team RMHC. I hope to see many of you on January 4th to kick things off!
