Meet The 2008 Road Warriors

In December, 10 people were selected from over 200 applications to take part in the Fifth Third River Bank Run Reality Running Team.  As you’ll see from their profiles, running experience varies on the team from those who have successfully completed marathons to others who will be experiencing their first 25K event.  All of them have a unique story which has led them to this point in their lives.

During the next few months, Reality Running Team members will be participating in a variety of training activities to assist them in completing the Fifth Third River Bank Run 25K on Saturday, May 10.  Take the time to check in with one or all of them – it’s easy – click on their name in the menu above to read their profile. Click on their name in the right column to reach their online journal entries.  You can even comment back to them. They would love to hear from you. That extra motivation will keep them going strong!

The Reality Running Team will give you a sneak peak into what it’s really like – for a variety of people from different backgrounds – to train effectively for a 25K event.  Maybe you’re training right along with them.  Or maybe the 25K is something you haven’t even thought about conquering.  Whatever the case, the Reality Running Team’s shared experiences will hopefully inspire, educate or motivate you as they, together, race toward the finish line on May 12.
