GO FAR CHALLENGE

Just how far will you go in 2010?  Well….here’s your chance to prove it!

In 2010, we are moving the Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota / Subway Restaurants 5K Fun Run/Walk to Friday Night!!  That’s right… it is now the Friday Night 5K Run/Walk.

The GO FAR RUN CHALLENGE or the GO FAR VOLUNTEER CHALLENGE will be your opportunity to show the world your stuff on two different days.  Here’s how it will work:

GO FAR RUN CHALLENGE

You may participate in the 5K Run/Walk on Friday Night.  Then, on Saturday, if you complete the 10K, Half or Full Marathon, you will receive an AWESOME GO FAR CHALLENGE FINISHER’S MEDAL!! That’s your ticket to one Adidas bag, two race shirts, and three finisher medals in less than 24 hours!  And don’t forget the Bragging Rights that are priceless!

GO FAR VOLUNTEER CHALLENGE

Say you’re not up for running two races in two days… then maybe the GO FAR VOLUNTEER CHALLENGE is for you? Check this out:

Run or walk the 5K on Friday night, then VOLUNTEER for 4 hours of Course Safety Patrol during Saturday’s Marathon and get a $10.00 Scheels All Sports Gift Card.  How can you go wrong with that?  An Adidas bag, a 5K race shirt, a 5K finisher’s medal and a $10.00 Gift Card to Scheels… either way you'll GO FAR!

The 10K, Half and Full Marathon Challenges are open until those races close, but the availability for the Course Safety Patrol Discount will be limited to the first 300 people!  Sign up quickly!
