c-ville-athon - Design Your Own 26.2 Mile Racing Experience

The c-ville-athon is the brilliant idea of my coach, volunteer race director, and running store owner Mark Lorenzoni. Created as a way to encourage runners to try a variety of local not-for-profit races as well as to track one’s progress over the year, the c-ville-athon allows participants to design their own racing experience by running at least 26.2 miles in charity events in a calendar year.

I worked behind the scenes to create a logo, flyers, website, and social media presence for this initiative and it was a huge success during its first year.

Of the 243 people who signed up for the challenge in the inaugural event, 83 runners submitted their checklists, running a total of more than 2,500 miles for worthy causes!

Currently we have 216 likes on Facebook and 46 followers on Twitter. We hope to increase our visibility and engagement over the next year.

Since I’ve been a race addict since 2007, it came as no surprise to me that I was at the top of the leader board for total miles raced with 98.4. Andrew Hersey came in 2nd with 51.1 miles and Kristin Morgan was 3rd with 46.9 miles.

Although I didn't PR in any distances during my c-ville-athon, I was the most proud of my Charlottesville Ten Miler time of 1:16:42 which is my 3rd fastest time in that distance (and the two faster times were on the flat Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run course).

I had a few really bad races this year especially in the 5K (for me, anything 24 or above is disappointing unless it's the week after a marathon :) which was the Chocolate Chase after the Chicago Marathon). Luckily, I was able to finish off the year with two 5Ks averaging 7:40 pace on my Garmin and finish times of 23:26 and 23:05.

I created an evaluation form to get feedback and suggestions from the 2015 finishers. Here is a sampling of some of their kind words:

"Fun idea :-) Enjoy participating in local events and supporting local organizations; motivation to participate in an extra event or three during the year!"

"This was a great way to stay involved, get healthy, and contribute to some very good causes. Please do this again in 2016!"

"Thank you for hosting such a fun competition! I look forward to participating next year.”

"It looked like a fun thing to do, since I was planning to run several races already. I love tracking my progress."

"Thank you for putting this together! It's been really fun!"

"I thought it would be fun since I was running enough races. I told all if my running friends and we did discuss our progress especially toward the fall."

"This was such a good idea! Thank you!"

"Thank you for sponsoring such an innovative way to encourage race participation in the Charlottesville community. It certainly kept me motivated!"

"That was fun! Thanks for organizing it!"

"It was so pleasant an experience to run all those races and learn of this recognition."

"I thought it was a neat way to turn lots of little events into a bigger event; it was also great for tracking progress (or, sometimes, the lack thereof). I considered it fortuitous timing, since I had only been in town for some months, and found out about it while looking for races to participate in last spring. Being in on the inaugural edition seemed pretty neat, and putting the focus on non-profit races is quite nice."

Alex's Million Mile: Run. Walk. Ride.

www.alexsmillionmile.org

Join us on our Journey to a Million & Beyond!

Last year, more than 12,000 people logged miles as part of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation's 2nd Annual Alex’s Million Mile event to raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer during the month of September (Childhood Cancer Awareness Month). 

This year we’re getting ready to do it again! To find a cure for childhood cancer, we’re going the distance – running, walking or biking one million miles and beyond. That’s a long way, but the way we see it, a parent of a child with cancer would go that far (and then some) to find a cure.

1 month, 1 cause, 1 million miles...

Kids with cancer need your help!

The goal is to collectively run, walk and/or ride one million miles during a single month: September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Our goals are to exceed a million miles, raise awareness and find cures for childhood cancer.

• Who can participate? 

Anyone, anywhere can join and fight childhood cancer!

• Do I have to do this myself?

Nope, you can choose to participate individually or you can start or join a team for added fun and motivation.

• How many miles do we have to complete?

There is no minimum, or maximum. You complete miles at your own pace. Every mile you log during September counts!

• So, why one million miles?

One million miles is 40 times around the equator or two round-trips to the moon. But it’s less than five miles for each kid or adolescent who will be affected by childhood cancer this year, worldwide. Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the United States. That’s why it is vital that we raise money to cure it, now.

We hope you'll join us on our #Journey2aMillion!

If you're a twin or parent of twins, your welcome to join our team, "@TwinsRun in Our Family" www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/1132661

Or, you can register as an individual or your own team at www.alexsmillionmile.org

#MEGSMILES Information via:

www.facebook.com/groups/megsmiles

Meg Cross Menzies was tragically killed by a drunk driver while out for her morning run on January 13, 2014. As an avid runner, member of the Richmond Road Runners Club, and Boston marathoner, she was a member of the running family nationwide. In her honor, our hope is to raise awareness of drunk driving, texting and driving, and overall safety of runners and cyclists everywhere.

This Saturday, January 17, 2015, no matter what your distance, no matter where you live, run for Meg. Take in the fresh air, be aware of your surroundings, keep your headphones on low, feel the heaviness in your lungs, the soreness in your legs, and be grateful for it--for all of it. The sweat, the pain, the wind, the cold…everything. Be grateful for that moment. Grab a friend, or two, or 100 and take them with you! Wear BLUE! Blue was Meg's favorite color!

Feel free to post pictures of yourself pre-run or post-run, post your distance, post your thoughts, prayers, condolences with the hashtag #megsmiles. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook. Let all runners unite together and remember the loss of a beautiful spirit. It's not a coincidence the hashtag reads either "Meg's Miles" or "Meg Smiles." She will be smiling on all of us forevermore.

Medals4Mettle is a non-profit organization founded in 2005. Medals4Mettle facilitates the gifting of earned marathon, half marathon, and triathlon finishers’ medals from event participants to children and adults dealing with chronic, debilitating or life-threatening illness. We do this as a celebration of the human spirit, knowing that while our medal recipients may not be out on the race course with us, they are fighting in the race for their own lives. Over the past 9 years, Medals4Mettle has presented over 45,000 medals to deserving children and adults.

Mission

Medals4Mettle is a different kind of charity that does not seek to compete with other charities for valuable dollars. It is our mission to work with established charitable organizations to increase exposure and expand education by providing runners and triathletes with a simple way to gift their medals to others. It is also our hope that this will provide athletes with the opportunity to get to know their recipient or a charitable cause, and learn more about the disease or other problem that they have faced so courageously. Only a fraction of marathon runners run for a charity and Medals4Mettle believes that the simple gifting of a finisher’s medal is a subtle but effective way to introduce the concept of charitable running.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Are donations to you tax-deductible?

Yes. Medals4Mettle is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Donations made to your local chapter or through our website are tax-deductible. Donations of money are always needed to help offset the costs of manufacturing ribbons, distributing and awarding medals to recipients, chapter promotional materials, and ongoing shipping and administration costs of running the organization. Our chapter coordinators are all volunteers that coordinate medal collection and distribution, so your monetary donations truly go towards supporting our medal gifting program.

Where do I send my medals?

Medals4Mettle has 60 chapters in the United States as well as several chapters in other countries. To find the chapter closest to you, visit http://www.medals4mettle.org/chapters.html/If you do not have a chapter in your state, medals can be sent to our headquarters in Indianapolis, IN. Please note that many of our chapters have drop-off locations at local running stores, or may pick up medals at local race expos. Contact your local chapter coordinator if you have any questions.

How should I send the medals?

If at all possible, we ask that you remove the ribbons before mailing.  Please wrap the medals in bubble-wrap or paper to help prevent damage in shipment. If you are sending a large quantity of medals, we recommend that you use USPS Priority Flat Rate boxes; this tends to be the cheapest as you pay one postage rate regardless of the weight.

We also encourage you to tell us about yourself and where the medal is from to provide us and M4M recipients some background on you and your gift.

What kinds of medals do you accept?

Medals4Mettle accepts only earned marathon, half-marathon, or triathlon medals.

In the spirit of fostering philanthropy, we also accept any medals earned by children who wish to donate their medals to other children.

Can I send you my old trophies or awards from other sports?

We appreciate your donated race medals, however please do not send badges, pins, patches, stickers, plaques, ribbons or trophies as these cannot be used. Only the medals noted above are accepted.

I am a race director and I have extra medals that were never given out. Can I send you those?

We ask that only earned race medals be sent in. One of the most important parts of our program is that the medals presented were donated by athletes who earned them and wanted to pass them along to someone who they felt needed them more. Please do not send extra/unearned medals or medals from a race that was cancelled.

What happens to the medals I send you?

,Medals are presented to children and adults, either in hospital settings, group settings, or on an individual basis. The medals are presented to those who are fighting serious life-threatening illnesses, such as cancer, or who are facing lifelong debilitating illnesses. The medals are theirs to keep. We do this at no charge to the recipients, hospitals or groups we work with.

Can you send a medal to a specific person for me?

Yes! For more information, visit: http://www.medals4mettle.org/giftrequest.php

I want to help Medals4Mettle but I don't have any medals.  Are there are other ways I can help?

Yes! Any of the following would help us greatly:

1. Wear our tech shirt during your races. Donate $35 or more and we'll send you our tech shirt. For more information, visit: http://www.medals4mettle.org/donate.html

2. If you are a blogger, writing a blog post about our organization helps spread the word.

3. Follow us on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and YouTube.

4. If you are part of a running or tri club, hold a group collection for Medals4Mettle.

5. If you work for a running/cycling/athlete retail store, offer to have a medal collection box at your store.

6. Volunteer your time. You don't have to be an athlete to be involved! We have volunteers and chapter coordinators from all walks of life. You can volunteer with your local chapter, or form a chapter in your area if there isn't already one.

Running in Memory of Meg and Alex

I've followed my "Coach" for 4 weeks.

But this morning I ran .16 instead of 16.

I will run my 16 miles tomorrow.

I will join thousands in a virtual memorial run.

Every run tells a story.

Every runner can share a story.

Tomorrow, I will run and share.

I will run in memory of Meg...

And, I will share her story...

Meg Cross Menzies, mother of 3, was tragically killed by a drunk driver while out for her morning training run on Monday, January 13. As an avid runner and Boston marathoner, she was a member of the worldwide running family. In her honor, Meg's Miles hopes to raise awareness of drunk driving, texting and driving, and overall safety of runners and cyclists everywhere. 

@TwinsRun together with #MEGSMILES.

I will run in memory of Alex...

And, I will share her story...

Alex would have been 18 on January 18. Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). At the age of 4, Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete ...with thousands of volunteers across the country carrying on her legacy of hope.

@TwinsRun run together with #TeamLemon.

We're moved by two beautiful spirits who continue to inspire.

We can all make a difference, one run and one cup at a time.

Mother Runner & Dashing Daughter Finish 2012 Run For Babies Together

On Sunday, April 29, 2012, my daughter and I ran the Run for Babies 5K! The 5K run was held before the March of Dimes "March for Babies" Walk. I decided to run with a baby doll in a Bjorn along side my daughter. I knew this wasn't going to be a race about speed, but my daughter started off fast that I had to run to catch up to her! Unfortunately, my daughter didn't understand the concept of "don't start off too fast" so she hit the wall at mile 1! ;-)

I told her we should keep going even thought I wasn't sure if she would be able to finish. She started to cry when runners kept passing us. Finally, after all the other runners past us, we were the last two before the police car.. But, we kept moving! When we reached the finish line, I let her cross first, so she wouldn't be last! :-)

Narberth Cystic Fibrosis Run

Narberth Cystic Fibrosis Run

Over 700 runners took part in the 16th annual Narberth Cystic Fibrosis Run on Saturday, April 21. The five-mile run followed a certified course around Narberth. The Narberth Cystic Fibrosis Run raises money to help make wishes come true for kids with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited, chronic disease that wreaks havoc on the lungs and digestive system, and for which there is no cure. Organized by siblings Ame Austin, Molly McBryan and Matt McCloskey, who has cystic fibrosis, the mission of the Narberth Cystic Fibrosis Run is simple: to fulfill the wishes and dreams of children living with cystic fibrosis and give them respite from the daily turmoil inflicted by this disease. Since the Run’s inception, it has fulfilled more than 80 wishes of children living with cystic fibrosis.

 Before my 1st "normal" race since the runDisney Princess Half Marathon.

My two "must have" race items - Brooks Addiction running shoes & Team Sparkle skirt.

I was so excited after the Narberth Cystic Fibrosis Run I had the "guts" to ask someone to take my photo! And then I took an awful selfie. ;-)
