Relay for Life is May 6 and starts at 6pm on the Greenwood YMCA track.

YHC is not a professional. This is merely an idea with a worthy cause. Please participate if you feel so lead, if not…well then you’ll just miss out on all the fun.

So here’s the thing. Relay for Life is a 6 hour event where teams and participants make as many laps around the Greenwood YMCA track as possible. In the month leading up to Relay for Life, teams and participants fundraise to benefit the American Cancer Society. The Relay is the year ending event to celebrate cancer survivors, their families, friends and to remember those lost to cancer.

That being said, here’s the challenge for F3 Greenwood. YHC would like for PAX to consider how many miles you will be able to run, jog, walk, bike or crawl between now and May 6. Once you have that goal established, start asking family, friends, co-workers, church friends, or people on the street to sponsor your miles, $1 per mile. Folks can sponsor all your miles or just some of your miles and you collect as much as you can. For example, if your goal between now and May 6 is 100 miles, you can collect $100 ($1 per mile), $1,000 (10 people sponsoring $1 per mile) or more. But you will only have to walk, run, jog, crawl, etc, 100 miles total. Basically you choose your milage and then get as many people to sponsor that milage as possible.

Then the night of the Relay, PAX will need to complete one of the following at some point during the 6 hours; walk the track as long as you can, run a 5K or run a 10K. At the end of the event, we will have a special Midnight Madness Bootcamp. Come on that right there makes the whole thing worth it, who doesn’t want to do 300 kettle bell swings at midnight??

This is YHC’s goal for F3 Greenwood in this event; Raise as much money for American Cancer Society as we can, and then have as many PAX come out for 6 hours of 2nd F together with some 1st F fun mixed in. And of course all M’s and 2.0’s are welcome to come out too.
