Registration Opens at 6:30 am
Race Begins at 8:00 am

I love the amazing energy that is Team CMMD. The Group is a million runners strong, not really, but that is what it seems like. In my personal Facebook stream, I see Team CMMD posts, ALL DAY LONG and you can’t drive around Chester County these days without seeing a Team CMMD magnet on the back of a car and if you have been on the Struble Trail or Chester Valley Trail, I am sure you have seen a group in lime green t-shirts fly past you.

This group has come together for a purpose. Simply, they hate cancer, they lift each other up. When I say the group has amazing energy, I mean it, but you can see for yourself, by following the Team CMMD Facebook page.

Confession: I am not a runner! The only way you will see me running on a trail is if something big and scary is chasing me. That being said… I am  a supporter of Dr. Christine Meyer, the Founder of Team CMMD. I “liked” the Team CMMD Facebook page to show my support, then I started checking it daily and following along with the comments.

THEN….

I bought a FitBit and with the encouragement of Dr. Meyer, I started walking with a goal of 10K steps per day. 10K became 12K, then one day instead of walking along the Struble Trail, I started to “WOG” you know half walk – half jog. Picture, Phoebe from “Friends” running, yeah that is me! It’s not pretty, but I am trying.  If you told me a year ago, I would be a “wogger”, I would have told you that you were crazy. The energy of Team CMMD has motivated me to WOG!  Someday, I will participate in a group RUN {gasp}. Someday!

There are group runs and walks in the mornings, afternoon and evenings.  Check out the Team CMMD website and Facebook page for more information about group runs and walks and how you can become a part of the awesomeness that is Team CMMD .

Long story short (too late?), Chesco Moms would like YOU to experience the positive energy of Team CMMD and participate in the Team CMMD 5K and 1 Mile Walk on November 1, 2014 in Downingtown. 

SO…register for this race NOW
2. Mark it on your calendar. Saturday, November 15th
3. Download C25K and START TODAY or start just “wogging”, like me.
4. Once you register, come back to this post and enter this contest. Chesco Moms will pay the registration fee for one lucky registered participant. That means, we will write the lucky winner a $25 check to cover their entry fee. If you are already registered for the Team CMMD 5K, you can STILL enter this contest, just make sure to tell your friends about it.
Someone… a walker or a runner, is going to participate in this race for free and it could be YOU!

About the race: Race day registration opens at 6:30 am, in the parking lot of the Regal Cinemas Downingtown (100 Quarry Road, Downingtown 19335). The run/walk will start at 8:00 am in this parking lot, wind its way around the scenic Downingtown Country Club Golf Course, and will finish near In Motion Physical Therapy. Registration fees are the same for the 5K and the 1-Mile Walk.
