You don't have to be a runner to be a HERO...
You can train to make it to the finish line. You CAN! Do something good for you.... and be a hero for the kids. It's in you. Amaze yourself to help the kids. You'll be proud of you. We'll be proud of you!
We here at Sunny County ran in the Santa Barbara International Marathon Health & Fitness Relay to help our friends at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Our rag tag team of DJ's finished 11th in our category (corporate coed), with a time of 3:57:44. If a band of radio dj's can come together over 6 months and train to run 26.2 miles... so can YOU! Next year's marathon is already on the books..... think about it! We promise it is an experience you will never forget!
The 2010 Santa Barbara International Marathon is on Sunday, December 5... You have a year to get ready!
If you're super excited about the Heroes program, and you don't want to wait a year to get involved, you can be a St. Jude Hero in any athletic event. Just go to www.stjudeheroes.org to sign up!
A bit about the marathon (to get you inspired for next year!)...
 Located in Southern California’s “American Riviera,” this point-to-point course begins in the scenic Goleta Valley with its lush lemon and avocado orchards, winds through Santa Barbara’s picturesque Mesa community, and finishes with a stunning two-mile descent to the sparkling Pacific Ocean. Finishers and their families can celebrate in charming downtown Santa Barbara with its abundance of quality shops, museums and restaurants, or hop on a wine-tasting or whale-watching tour for some adventure. Combining vibrant cultural sophistication with breathtaking outdoor splendor, Santa Barbara offers the ideal destination marathon. The Santa Barbara International Marathon is a USATF-sanctioned event and a Boston Qualifier.
