Crescent City Classic Wants You To "Run For It!"

Last year I ran the Crescent City Classic 10K for the first time! I had a blast running this race! I was running in one of my favorite cities (New Orleans) with one of my best running friends (Paige)! This race was so much fun and I am so excited to run it again this year!

I want to tell you about the Crescent City Classic's "Run For It" program! People can choose to register (for free) and fundraise for 1 of 10 local (and deserving) charities. They will get an upgraded race t-shirt, a special "Charity" bib number, and perks on race day (private port-o-lets/gathering areas at the start & finish) in exchange for raising a minimum of $200 for their Charity by race day. They've already raised over $6,000, but hope to reach $1 million!

The online fundraising platform (where you can see all 10 teams and team members is here: http://www.crowdrise.com/CrescentCityClassic

I fundraised for St. Jude Children's Hospital last year and I will tell you that $200 is not hard to raise! Especially for a local charity! It's a win win for all...and you get to run the race for free!

The Crescent City Classic is an amazing race! It is so much fun! The course is flat and fast and takes you through the heart of the city! And....you also get a medal!!! You know how much I love my bling y'all! ;-)

I hope you will consider signing up for the Run For It program! I'd love to see you at the start line on April 19th!
