AZ Mom's Running for More
Join us for a training program for the New York City More half or full marathon on April 6

Chances for Children Arizona, a non for profit organization which raises funds to provide at risk kids an opportunity for positive change through health and fitness, is organizing a group of Mom's/Women to train for and run the New York City More half or full marathon scheduled for April 6, 2008.  

The More Marathon is a woman only race dedicated to the celebration of women and fitness. This race includes seasoned runners as well as many first time walkers and runners, all with the same desire of wanting to celebrate a challenge together! We have an opportunity as moms and women to be the difference in a child’s life while training for an event that will improve your life and give you an amazing experience. I've ran over 20 marathons, not to mention countless half marathons, and this is my favorite race.  Nothing compares to the energy, excitement and celebration of these moms’s, daughters, Grandma's, sisters, nieces and friends supporting each other as they run or walk the More Marathon in Central Park.  I am so passionate about this marathon that I want to bring as many women with me as possible so they can have this same experience.

By training and accomplishing this race you will increase your fitness and confidence as a woman. You will also give at risk kids the same opportunity. Not only will I be coaching the Chances for Children runners preparing for the More Marathon but I will also be coaching students from Pinnacle High School (that you support) to reach their own goal of running a 8K race.  Our hope is that they too have a life changing experience to lead them on a positive path.

When
Sunday, April 6, 2008. Both races will begin at 8:00 a.m.

Where
Central Park, New York City

Who can participate?
Women who will be at least 40 by April 6 can participate in the full marathon as an individual OR participate in the half-marathon (13.1 miles each) with a female partner at least 12 years old.  

Not yet 40?
Good news! You can still take part. Find a female friend over 40, and do the half-marathon as a two-person team; half the work, but just as much fun!

Don't have a partner?
"Mom's running for More" will partner everyone up!!!

Join Chances for Children's team "Mom's running for More" today!!


Each “Mom’s running for More” participant will cover their costs of $675 and fund raise at least an additional $200. This additional $200 will fully fund one student to participate in a running program that offers coaching, shoes, team shirt and much more!!  You are giving at least one student the opportunity to focus on something positive, something that can change their lives. They will have increased confidence, improved health and fitness and a positive goal to work towards.
