New Year… Need a Resolution? Run with ACCA.

With the New Year right around the corner and our 4th annual March for Meals 5K coming up, we are inviting you to join us and Run Today with ACCA.  ACCA wants you to train with us for this annual spring fundraising event that will be a wonderful and scenic run through downtown Athens on March 29, 2014.  For all of you runners out there, we don’t want to leave you out… we are expanding the race to include a 12K as well. On the back of this magazine is a training schedule (Adapted from http://www.martin-plowman.com/2012/04/09/5k-run-plan/#prettyPhoto).  We are going to be updating you on our progress, sending out notes of encouragement, and reminding you on our Facebook and website where you should be in order to be ready for the race in the spring.

We will start the second full week of January (week of January 13) and will train up until the race week.  We are so excited to announce Bank of America as our lead sponsor for this year’s event.  All of the proceeds of this event go into the local Meals on Wheels program at ACCA.  Go ahead and mark your calendars to start running with ACCA in January and run the March for Meals 5K or 12K with us on March 29.   Check out www.accaging.org or www.active.com to register today.
