Thank you again for registering for the Arthritis Foundation Joints In Motion program!! Every dollar you raise helps the fight against arthritis.
Honoree
We encourage Joints in Motion participants to take on this challenge in honor of someone with arthritis. If you do not have a friend or family member in mind, we are happy to match you up with a special honoree. When you think you just cannot go another step, it is important to remember that living with arthritis makes running or walking a marathon or doing a challenging hike seem that much easier.
More Info
Every Joints In Motion participant receives a comprehensive 18-week marathon training program, designed by experience coaches. While following the training schedule through the week, teams meet on Saturday mornings for team trainings. Not only is this a chance for you to meet the athletes and become part of the team, you also have access to coach and mentor advice, fundraising information, nutrition tips, water/ Gatorade/nutrition stations and honoree information. In addition, our staff will be out on the path providing you with pacing help and program advice whenever you need it. Trainings are a great way to get to know the team and build a sense of team camaraderie.
Requirements. You must be willing to put one foot in front of the other for upto 7 hours (brisk walk pace) to complete a marathon and that is, of course, only if you have committed to and followed the 18 week training schedule. That's it for the most part. You register yourself and get your self to and from the events. For the events that the Arthritis Foundation has to register you with the events and/or make arrangements for you at the destination there is a fundraising requirement. Please contact us prior to registering here at the Arthritis Foundation if you have any questions.
