Get Moving for GRI 2022 VIRTUAL Event
Share This Post
July 1 – 31, 2022
We are excited to kickoff our 3rd annual virtual physical family challenge to promote healthy lifestyles while raising money to help find therapies and cures for those living with GRI Disorder.
During the month of July, we encourage you to set a distance challenge of your choice:
- Half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km)
- Marathon (26.2 miles / 42.2 km)
- Ultramarathon (50 miles / 80.5 km)
You don’t have to decide which distance you are aiming for when you register – just get moving and see how far you can go! The time it takes you to complete the distance does not matter, as long as you begin and complete it during July.
You can run, hike, walk, skip or stroll either outside or stay indoors on a treadmill, all to support CureGRIN!
