Summer 2009: Get ready to run a marathon

Thursday, April 2 and Monday, April 6, noon
Student Union, Lyla Richards Conference Room

Two informational, meet-and-greet sessions for employees interested in running the Mayir's Marathon or half-marathon this year are slated for April 2 and April 6 at noon in the Lyla Richards Conference Room.

Meet fellow employees who have completed the race and hear from WIN for Alaska consultants about race training and health topics. These are one-hour sessions that give potential participants a chance to meet others that share the goal of completing one of America's top marathons or half marathons. The session will provide an opportunity for runners to set up training groups to make the training easier and more fun. Last year, these sessions hosted more than 30 people. There were participants that qualified for the Boston Marathon and walkers that wanted to "go the distance." Bring a brown bag and join the group.
