Run a half-marathon for charity! Info session.

Create Now, a non-profit that provides arts mentoring to at-risk and high-risk youth, is putting together a team for the Rock N’ Roll Half Marathon! The marathon will take place on October 28th, 2012 and is 13.1 miles. Beginners are encouraged and we have partnered with a trainer, coach Robert Mills, to provide 16 training sessions for $100 to get you in marathon shape!

We will be hosting an info session at our offices on June 25th. If you are interested in attending, please contact kelly@createnow.org to RSVP.
