The 2011 Race for Grace events will take place on Sunday, September 11th at Patriot Park in Spotsylvania. This year, in addition to the Race for Grace 5K Run/Walk and the Kid’s 1-Mile Fireman Chase, we are happy to announce the addition of two new events.
This year we will take care of the little ones by offering a 300(ish) yard dash called the Rookie Run. This event is for all children five and under and will be in the same format as the Fireman Chase. All registered participants will receive a special “Rookie” t-shirt and a medal.
In honor of the brave fire professionals who help us put on a great event every year, we are also adding the inaugural Extreme Firefighter’s 1-Miler. This event will test the strength and stamina of the most fit firefighters in the business. The participants will be required to run the 1-Mile course in full turn-out gear while breathing compressed air from their self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The only exception is that participants will be allowed to wear running shoes. We are excited about this addition and we can’t wait to see how the event turns out.
The details about this year’s Race for Grace events can all be found on the race registration form. Information is also listed on Race Timing Unlimited’s website. If you have any additional questions about the event, please contact us at 888-900-GOCF (4623). Please be patient as we have no paid staff to answer your calls. You can also get your questions answered via email by writing to director@thegocf.org.
We still need businesses willing to sponsor the event. These sponsorships help defray expenses related to hosting the race and are a great way to reach local, community-focused consumers. Please visit our sponsor page to see previous race supporters. There are sponsorship levels to meet any budget, so please dig deep for a great cause.
