CROHN'S & COLITIS TEAM CHALLENGE:

SAN ANTONIO MARATHON & HALF-MARATHON ON NOVEMBER 16, 2008

Team Challenge is the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation's (CCFA) new endurance training program. This exciting new fundraising program trains you to run or walk a half marathon while helping the Foundation raise funds to find a cure for ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

Team Challenge provides professional coaching, health and nutrition clinics, the support of a team, fundraising help, and more! When you train with Team Challenge, you’re provided with everything you need to cross the finish line. In exchange for raising funds, participants receive: personalized fitness training by experienced coaches for a period of four months; training clinics; a supportive group of teammates; and lodging and airfare at the San Antonio Rock N’ Roll Half Marathon.

Participants range from seasoned athletes to novices who want to get in shape, triumph over a challenge and meet other motivated people.

For our fall season, Team Challenge takes on the Inaugural Rock ’N’ Roll San Antonio Half Marathon November 16, 2008!

The City of San Antonio will be the new home of the Rock 'n' Roll San Antonio Marathon & ½ Marathon. More than 20,000 runners and walkers are expected to toe the start line of the inaugural event, which will feature 70 live bands along the historic sites and parks on the marathon and half-marathon courses.

After crossing the finish line outside the Alamodome, runners will be invited inside that evening for the post-race concert - a celebration recognizing the participants' accomplishments. Past acts at other Elite Racing events include SEAL, INXS, Journey, Chris Isaac, Goo Goo Dolls and Hootie & the Blowfish.
