Register Today: Fun Run for Charities

I know most of the RMEC plans to run the Fun Run for Charities on May 30th. This race will be something fun and exciting for not only the running community, but also for those who try to improve our community through various organizations.

If you plan to run, please sign up TODAY! Speaking from experience, late race entries are always welcomed, but they make managing the event more challenging. They are planning for shirts, timing, aid stations, race packets, and more. All of these things are impacted by how many people register to run.

Counting spouses and children, the RMEC represents about 100 potential runners. Lets do our part to help the event organizers by signing up today. Seriously. . . take five minutes now and get registered!

As a reminder, there is a 1 mile, 5k, 10k, 15k, and Kids Dash. All events are priced low, so I hope you will consider adding a small contribution to one of the 48 participating charities during your registration. Pick your favorite one (but don't forget the the Rocky Mount Endurance Kids is one of the options).

The RMEC will have a booth set up at the expo with information about the club and our races. Be sure to race in your RMEC shirts, and be a positive influence on the event by cheering on other runners.

    We need volunteers to help with the booth between 7:30 and 12:30. If you can help cover some time, post on the blog or let Michael or myself know. Thanks

    Tracy, I know Patti said she can cover most of it, and Ursula will be there too. Do you know if we can bring a pop up tent?

    Would still like to have more people there if possible

    We have to be at the booth until 12:30. Mackenzie's dance recital is that afternoon so I will need to leave no later than noon. I need a take down crew and people to be in the booth during the races. A few before the races start would be handy so I can help the children get packet pick up and get them ready. We have around 10 doing the 5k and several doing the 1 mile. Anybody not running we can use between 7:30 and 12:30. The booth can make a great meeting zone for the RMEC!
