Dear fellow runners:
This year The Training Studio, as part of our miniMarathon program, is partnering with Fred’s Team to support the Frederick Law Olmsted Parks.
I am encouraging miniMarathon runners with The Training Studio to sign up for Fred’s Team. I know most of you have spent time in these beautiful parks walking, running, cycling, pushing your children on a swings, having a family picnic, or simply driving through the scenic landscapes. These urban parks are our original health clubs, home to many sports fields and facilities, and play a vital role in protecting the health of our citizens and community. By signing up you will agree to help raise funds to take care of our parks, including projects like restoring trails, planting thousands of trees, building playgrounds, removing invasive vines, restoring park structures. This wonderful system of parks is one of the best things about living in Louisville.
If you raise $625.00 the fee you paid to participate in The Training Studio miniMarathon program will be reimbursed to you. Each member of Fred’s Team will have their own webpage to help with fundraising. I promise, raising funds is much easier than running 13.1 miles. Olmsted Parks Conservancy will help provide you with all the help you need to reach your goal. In addition, Heine Brothers Coffee and Vint Coffee will match all donations made to Fred’s Team dollar for dollar (up to $5000.00).
Support the parks you love! Go the extra mile! Join Fred’s Team today!
If you have any questions call Susan Ward at Olmsted Parks Conservancy at 502-802-0667. She can also be reached at susan.ward@olmstedparks.org.
