The second TeamWalk Connection in NC
will be held on Sunday, September 16th at 2 pm in
downtown Raleigh. The event will start in front of the
Second Empire Restaurant at 330 Hillsborough St, loop
around the state capitol building and grounds, and
finish back in front of the Second Empire. We will have
covered areas outside and a wide flat road to walk or
roll on.
Just like last year, we will hold the
competitive Magnificent Mile Race first, which will be
followed by the TeamWalk and non-competitive fun
run/walk. Similar to last year, the course is laid out
so TeamWalkers can turn around at any point. The two
significant improvements from our 2006 event are warmer
weather and no hills.
We are excited that we are once again partnering with
the NC Roadrunner's Club, with those proceeds supporting
SPF Research Awards as well! Note: We are honored
that Dr. Richard Bedlack from Duke University, a
researcher on motor neuron diseases and head of the ALS
Clinic, will be back with us to talk about the latest in
research.
