We are so excited to share our Charity Running Program- UNLEASHED for Talbot Humane is returning- and it is the program’s 10th anniversary! This program has taken hundreds of local friends across finish lines over the past 10 years, and raised close to $400,000 for the animals.
This wholly supportive, non-competitive program seriously takes everyone- from couch potato to weekend warrior and teaches & trains you through the Galloway run:walk program. You are put in a pace group with others of the same fitness level. You encourage each other and WILL cross that finish line together each week of training, and at the final day- race day!
In exchange for training, runners agree to raise funds for Talbot Humane. “It is truly a win: win situation,” says veteran UNLEASHER Sara Rhoades. “I never would have thought I could finish a half marathon 10 years ago- and here I am still running and racing today at age 71 with UNLEASHED! If you are looking to change your life- this is the group for you.” Changing your life and the lives of animals- what could be better?
This year we are training for the Richmond Half Marathon. It a race we have trained members for in the past, so we know all the ins and outs of race day!
