Join Oxfam Running Team!

Hi team Run Oxfam! I hope you’re all having a great weekend and enjoying the beautiful weather!!! I know I am.

With all this sun and beautiful weather, I’ve been inspired to be waking up early to go on a run sometimes in the morning. It get the blood flowing, gets some endorphins in my brain, makes me feel good about myself for the rest of the day, AND is helping to get me geared up and ready for our first OxFam race event… which is coming up in TWO WEEKS on June 21^st!

As a reminder, the June 21^st event is the Strawberry Festival 5K and 10K in Sun Prairie. You can check out the website here --http://www.athenstoatlantis.com/Events/200227/. Registration is $20, which I believe goes to the Senior Center, and while we’re there we will be collecting donations and pledges from community members, which will be given to OxFam upon our completion of this or future races!!!! As an added benefit, we’ll be building awareness for our cause.

So…. If you are considering or committed to running this race (or if you’re interested in a future OxFam running event):

 

1. Send me an email at vanzoeren@wisc.edu so I add you to the mailing list to get information regarding group training events, OxFam shirts to wear at the event, carpooling, etc. 

 

2. Go online and register 

 

3. Get outdoors, enjoy the weather and go for a run! I am headed out right now!!!

Hope to see you on the 21st!
-Your Run OxFam lead trainer,
