Reach The Beach? Are you Crazy?

Get Fit NH has some crazy clients. Crazy like, pulling firetrucks down Main St. Crazy like, sliding down huge slip and slides. Crazy like, loving to ride bikes for miles and miles. Crazy like, enjoying races involving mud, obstacles, and fire. Crazy like SkiErg till you drop. Crazy like doing 5050 pushups over 100 days. But there are a few that are crazy and like to run.

Yes, run – now THAT is crazy! 🙂

Mae Lynn approached me awhile back about the possibility of putting a team together for the annual “Reach the Beach Relay”, which is run to support many worthy causes, including the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Here is how the RTB website describes the race:

Reach the Beach Relays combine fun, fitness, adventure and team building like no other running event.  The Reach the Beach (RTB) Running Relay Race is one of the longest distance running relay races in the United States. The RTB Relay will take place in picturesque New Hampshire during the start of the New England foliage season. The relay will consist of (a maximum of) 12 person teams that will rotate through 36 transition areas as they cover the approximate 200 mile distance of the race. This means that each relay team member will run 3 legs of varying lengths and difficulty and will cover an average total distance of ~16.6 miles.

Sound Crazy? Sound like something you would like to do?

If we are going to be crazy in 2013 like we were in 2012, we need to know who would like to do this race. The dates of the race are September 13-14. To stick with the craziness of it all, the race is run overnight from Cannon Mt. to Hampton Beach. There is a cost of $120 per person with a team of 12. While we are not asking for the fee yet, we do need to know if we can get 12 crazy people to do this.

Once we have your name on our team, we’ll get registered and the race will be crazier with Get Fit NH there.

If you are serious about being on the team, please visit the RTB website, thoroughly study what you are getting yourself into, then fill out the form below to indicate your interest.
