Learn About Joining Las Vegas Fundraising Race!

Calling all runners! Want to put all those training miles to work for a terrific cause with other local runners? 

Consider joining Team Challenge, a half-marathon training program of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA). 

Come to an information meeting on Monday, Aug. 13, at 7 p.m.,  at the Sneaker Factory in Basking Ridge to learn more and meet members and coaches of Team Challenge.

The goal is to raise funds and train for 15 weeks to complete the Rock 'n' Roll Vegas Half-Marathon on Dec. 2.

CCFA invests in research, education, and support services for the 1.4 million Americans living with these debilitating diseases and in New Jersey, CCFA funds a special children's summer camp. Learn more at visit http://www.ccteamchallenge.org. Or, contact Team Endurance Manager Ashley Chandler at achandler@ccfa.org.

Runners receive training with professional coaches and the support of CCFA staff and mentors. Team Challenge participants travel as a group to race weekend and run the famed -- and flat! -- Las Vegas Strip.
