~"CJ" isn't the only autistic child for which we run. Current statistics are 1 in 68, so many of the team know someone. For example, meet Landon's Entourage!

Our gracious host, RD Bob Stoudt, has already invited us back for next year. In fact, he's extended an invitation for two of MARC's races, the hilariously fun Humdinger as well as River Towns Half & Full Marathon. Those details will be worked out later this year. For now, know that the Humdinger is an early March race and River Towns is early May.
More pressing is what Team CJ is doing this fall. We're going to be running the Runner's World Half & Festival!!! And yes, I'm talking about Runner's World the magazine! This is a fun filled weekend in Bethlehem, PA October 16-18. Friday is an expo, Saturday is a 5k and 10k, and Sunday is the half marathon. Team CJ teammates will have the option to run the 5k, 10k, Five & Dime (5k & 10k), Half Marathon, or the Hat Trick (all three races!) Interested??? Or know someone else who might be? Contact me!!!

Join the fun this fall! |
So finally, I just want to say one more thank you. You all have inspired and encouraged me and lifted me up. Your acts of kindness give me such hope for the future and fill my heart with gratitude. It may have been just a race to you, but it means so much more than that to me. Thank you.

Wow what a great turn out for your team!
ReplyDeleteI ran the Runner's World race back in 2013 and it was a great event. The expo alone was really fun. Make sure you take advantage of all the extra opportunities they have ( like the shake out run with Bart Yasso). Runner's world really does it up right! -Meranda
