Whether your goal is to run fast, jog or

HipHipHerRun

children in need in Central Massachusetts.
Bring your kids, wear your baby, bring a stroller, encourage everyone you know to register and join you.
Nervous about running or jogging? Not quite in shape yet? There are many different ways to train for a race. We know some great personal trainers to whom we can refer you or you can use an online program. One of our favorite online training programs is Couch to 5K (there's even an app for that). We do plan on having one or two group practice sessions with personal trainers--those who register will be notified of those opportunities, so register now. Create a team of friends and family (including kids!) to join you in the HipHipHerRace event. You'll love it and your body will appreciate it, too.
What's the route? First of all, it's
beautiful. And it's just 3.2 miles. A nice walk for a family, a nice
short run in the morning for a runner:
 
This event takes place rain or shine. We'll have
t-shirts for each paid registrant as well as great prizes for top
runners and top
fundraisers. If you can't attend the event,
please consider supporting the race and Abby's house by making a donation and/or come out to cheer on those
who are running or walking!
Does your company have a matching gift program? Would your company (or a friend's company) become a SPONSOR? Let us know or encourage them to contact us. Also, share the information about the
HipHipHerRace 5K with to everyone you know using the links at the bottom
of the page so that your family and friends can have an opportunity to
walk, run and donate, too!
Interested in volunteering? Please let us know. We need volunteers for water stops, first aid and more. We're working on more details
to make it a fun event for the whole family.
So get your sneakers on,
warm up and start
walking
or jogging or running!  |
