Experience Marathoning With Meaning in 2010: Join Team Wellness Community!

Team Wellness Community is a group of dedicated runners and walkers who have accepted the challenge to train for and run or walk the Flying Pig Marathon, or any Flying Pig event, in May 2010, while raising funds for The Wellness Community of Greater Cincinnati.




What is The Wellness Community?

TWC is a national nonprofit organization with local branches in Northern Kentucky and Blue Ash, which serves individuals who have or have had cancer, as well as their families. TWC provides support, education and hope to all people affected by cancer. By offering professionally-led support groups, educational workshops, nutrition and exercise programs, and stress-reduction classes, The Wellness Community empowers and educates individuals affected by cancer.


Want to be a part of Team Wellness Community?
Team members can walk or run in any of the five Flying Pig events:


  • Marathon
  • Half Marathon
  • 4-person Relay of the Marathon
  • 10K Race
  • 5K Race



THERE ARE NOW 2 WAYS TO JOIN THE TEAM!

1.) OPEN RACE
Register for your chosen Flying Pig event and get yourself ready for it. Up until April 1, you can pay the lowest possible registration fee just for being a part of our charity Team. In the meantime, TWC will set you up with an online tool for collecting pledges - see how much you can raise for The Wellness Community!

2.) COMPETITIVE RACE
Challenge yourself with a fundraising goal of $500, and TWC will pay your Flying Pig event registration fee AND we'll pay for you to participate in one of Bob Roncker's Running Spot's training groups, if you should want to train that way. We'll set you up with an online tool for collecting pledges, as well as other fundraising tips and tricks, and you may see that raising $500 is easier than you think!




As a part of Team Wellness Community, YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE for thousands of local individuals and families affected by cancer!
