Are you a woman runner and a busy mom? Do you live in one of the 5 boroughs of New York City?
Here's a terrific opportunity to connect with other women runners like you; it's the Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge - a race within this year's ING New York City Marathon.
How It Works
Here's how it works: one representative from each of the boroughs will be selected to form a team of five runners for the Challenge. The Team is required to run the first 13 miles together - and can then break away for the second part of the race. And there's publicity too! The Foot Locker Challenge teams will be treated as race VIPs and will be featured on the live WNBC broadcast of the race on November 1!
What You Win
The Marathon Mom that finishes with the fastest time becomes the Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge Champion and wins a Tiffany trophy.
How to Qualify
To qualify, you have to be a working mother living in one of NYC's five boroughs and an ING New York City Marathon accepted entrant who can complete the marathon between 3:00 and 3:30.
To apply you must send your application in before July 13th. Send your inspiring Marathon Mom story along with your name, age, borough of residence and expected finish time to FL5BC@nyrr.org.
This sounds like a lot of fun for NYC Traxees...and maybe a great way to help your fundraising efforts too! Check it out!
