Our kids see you as a true celebrity, and on March 17, 2012…you will be treated like one.

Are you ready to make a difference?? Run4Kids is a glorious day where you become the STAR! For 6 hours, you will become a MentorRunner for our 100 Mile Kids as they journey ever closer (or even past!) their 100 mile goal. This event is ALL about our kids!! You can run with them, walk with them, encourage them, and cheer for them…

Just 6 hours of your time could make a WORLD of difference to a child.

Schedule and Info. MentorRunners will be announced and recognized at Run4Kids Opening Ceremonies on March 17, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. They will begin running/walking at 9:00 a.m. WITH our 100 Mile Club Kids. We will call “last lap” at 2:30 and running will stop at 3:00. Once you begin running/walking with our kids, you may start or stop whenever you wish.

Fundraising. Register for just $35 and raise $100 in pledges. The top fundraiser will be awarded a one-of-a-kind handmade 100 Mile Club® MentorRunner quilt. 100% of Run4Kids proceeds benefit The 100 Mile Club® and their Student Sponsorship Fund.  We ask that MentorRunners fund-raise, set a personal goal, pace themselves, get lots of miles, and have FUN!

Perks. All MentorRunners will receive a custom and EXCLUSIVE tech tee to wear the day of Run4Kids, and will be welcomed at Opening Ceremonies. Our special MentorArea will allow the kids to come visit with you and see how it’s done!

MentorArea. You can set up a “campsite” with your UltraRunning Gear and your friends! This will be a really laid-back day where you can run or walk as much as you want and allow the kids to visit with you, take photos with you, and (yes) get your autograph! Bring a Sharpie! (seriously.)

MentorRun Times. Exactly the same times as Run4Kids…8:00 am-3:00 pm (a total of 6 hours) You can start and stop any time. Remember, the goal is to be there for and with the kids. Have FUN! PLAY! Show our kids that running can be crazy fun!

Course/Event  Description. The Run4Kids 2012 course consists of a 1/4 mile loop (standard track). Miles will be calculated manually on individual wristbands for each participant. Youth and Mentor Runners may begin running/walking at 9:00 and may stop/start any time or continue until we announce “last lap” at 2:30 p.m.  Final miles will be tallied and recorded, and individual medals will be presented at the Check-Out Station. All registered participants will receive a medal with their TOTAL miles completed for the day written on the medal. (The medal is what each child will show to their site Head Coach or teacher to receive their 100 Mile Club credit.)

This is a great day for our kids to spend with family and friends and earn miles together or run and learn from you… our “MentorRunners”, AKA REAL ULTRAmarathoners!

YOUR presence at R4K12 could be life-changing for a child. Become a MentorRunner today!We want you to run or walk with our kids and families, and show them how it’s done! How cool is THAT!?
