Run for a life by Tania Templeton

CanTeen Run For a Life 2016

   /   
21 - 26 September

Thank you for the great response so far to our 2016 campaign! Already some support for meals and  accommodation has saved us money meaning more can go towards CanTeen. Areas I am particularly looking for help in this week are: 

  • Petrol voucher donations
  • A contact for a large supply of bananas
  • First aid gear including ice packs
  • A contact for polyprops and gloves for the runners 

Of course, if you can help in any way I would love to hear from you. 

To help with a few questions I have received, there are some key points listed below:

 CanTeen Concert 

Friday 5th and Saturday 6th August, College PAC

Liturgy and send off of runners

Wednesday 21 September

Home Day

Friday 23 September  - all day run and events on the front field

Runners return

Monday 26 September

 

All students are encouraged to raise at least $100

Students selected for the run are expected to raise at least $500

 

The Run

Runners will run between 20 – 30kms each per day. However, team leaders will decide this – it is about the team, not individuals

160 runners and 40 support staff are involved

Boys from any year level can apply

Boys can register 2 preferred routes but must be prepared to go on any route

Training runs will be held after school in the build up

Boys should be able to run 5kms within 25 minutes

 

Currently an on line donation page is being established and I will be able to give you this link next week.
