2013 Run the Rock Challenge

KMXT staffers, Brianna Gibbs and Merissa Koller Williams are taking on a little extra challenge for Run the

Rock this year -- even more than your average 13 miles. They are seeking people to sponsor their run.

For every mile they finish under 12 minutes, Gibbs and Koller are hoping to find people to donate a certain amount -- money which will end up in the hands of a local non-profit organization. For example, if you sponsor Gibbs for $1 per minute that she finishes under 156 minutes and she finishes in 130 minutes, then you would owe her non-profit $26.

And we challenge you to do the same! Whether you're a runner or a sponsor, you can contribute to your community. Plus, whoever raises the most money will win a one month unlimited membership to A Balanced Approach! Here's how you can participate as a runner:

#1: Register for a 10k or more at www.kmxt.org/run_the_rock
#2: Download and print a pledge form here.
#3: Get out there and find sponsors!
#4: Train like crazy. Check out Bree's half marathon training schedule!
#5: After the race, collect your sponsorship dollars and bring the loot to KMXT. We'll tally it up and make sure it gets where it needs to go. And we'll see which organization received the most donations.

If you have any questions you can contact KMXT Volunteer Coordinator, Merissa at 486-3181 or merissa@kmxt.org.
