CCFA Team Challenge

Thinking about trying it. Has anyone else done it? How was your experience?

i tried to do it this year but ended up flaring. the group is really supportive of you and email you ALL the time. i trained for the half marathon and the schedule was interesting for me. there were no runs over 10 miles and i thought that was odd since we'd be expected to run 13 miles.

only thing is that it's very expensive. the one i was doing cost $3,500 and i raised $1,300 before i had to drop out. i honestly couldn't imagine asking more people to donate since that amount was from all my friends, family, coworkers, etc. you also have to sign a document saying that you will pay the extra amount if you don't get the donations in time for the race.

The San Diego group is really supportive, lots of help fundraising, and training for the run(s), many friends do it I'm just not a fan of long runs. short fun costume runs - that's another story!

@kloe0038 - ask your local rep, but I imagine you can train with them as long as you raise $$ for CCFA, maybe you can pick a half marathon that is near the same weekend you have the conference, just not the one you trained for. something to consider.
