Last Year's RFY Participants
A Personal Invitation from Kirk Troen and Ellen Lurz, Board of Trustees, SYF and Cindy Thomas, RFY Committee Chair
We enthusiastically invite you to join the Running For Youth Marathon/Half-Marathon Team! Ok, so you might not be a runner, that's ok......we'll help you get there! The SYF is looking for motivated individuals to challenge themselves, run the Minneapolis Marathon or Half Marathon, and raise money for SYF programs.
Our goal is for the RFY Run Team to once again more than double from our previous year, bringing us to an anticipated 40 runners in our 3rd year! Together, this Team will raise more than $100,000 for kids that need help. We will be running with you on 6/3/12, and we will help you with your training and fundraising from now until race day. We know we can help you get into great shape and we also know you'll have a lot of fun along the way! Please run with us and raise money for SYF!
Applications are due by 11/30/11, so please sign up up right away so you can get started on your training and fundraising. All information is available below and if you have any questions, please contact us right away. We are all here for YOU!
