Team Challenge is a half marathon training and fundraising program through the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America whose participants range from seasoned athletes to novices who want to get in shape, triumph over a challenge and meet other motivated people.

This summer, the wine will be flowing!! The Northeast Ohio Chapter will be participating in the Napa to Sonoma Wine Country Half Marathon on July 18, 2010.

Team Challenge provides training to run or walk a half marathon, while participants raise funds for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America.  In exchange for your fundraising efforts, we provide professional coaching, health and nutrition clinics, the support of a team and lodging and airfare to the Napa event. Just as you have a coach to get you through the training, you also have a fundraising “coach” to get you to your goal! 

Recruitment and training for our summer season will begins in March!  We will be holding Information Meetings in the Northeast Ohio area to tell you more about the program, introduce the coaches and mentors and get you signed up for what will be one of the best experiences of your life!
