Rain or shine – we will train for cures!

Hey Team!

Have you been able to make it out to a training yet this season? If not, check out the fun fellow teammates are having by running, walking, and cycling with the TEAM! While attending training is not required, it’s a wonderful way to get to know other volunteers that are just as passionate and committed to the mission as you are.

Here are some of the runners and walkers who will be completing the New Albany Walking Classic Half Marathon, Columbus Half and Full Marathon, and the Nike Women’s Half Marathon – San Francisco event this Fall season!

 

Here are some of the cyclists who will be completing the Tour De Chocolate Town cycle event this Fall season!

Good luck to teammates Samantha Hemmelgarn, Kelly Jackson, Rhonda Hillis, John Lowry, James Palmer, Brent Emmons, Paul Curtin and Christa McCabe!

Crazy factoid: Teammates Samantha Hemmelgarn, James Palmer and Paul Curtin will be completing their FIRST Half Ironman before the end of the Summer. GO TEAM!

A HUGE thank you to our Coach this season – Robin Muskopf. With first time triathletes getting started with the sport, three different race events and varying lengths to choose from: she truly made the training season seamless and FUN.
