Help a school or two!  VOTE VOTE!!!

 

(1) $4,000 Fit’s Cool School Challenge

presented by Bi-Lo & the Greenville Track Club:

 

Help your favorite elementary or middle school win big bucks in the “Fit’s Cool” School Challenge presented by Bi-Lo and the Greenville Track Club.  Enter the school’s name on your entry, and you’ll be helping that school’s Fit’s Cool tally. Promoting and voting have never ever been easier!!! This year, you don’t need to directly belong to a school to do your part.  We’re throwing the doors wide open this year.  We welcome friends, family members, and businesses to all get involved! See www.FitsCoolChallenge.org for more details.

 

New to Fit’s Cool this year:

This year, you don’t need to belong directly to a school to do your part.  We’re throwing the doors wide open this year.  This year, we welcome friends, family members, businesses, as well as students, faculty, and school staff members to all get involved!

 

Also New to Fit’s Cool this year:  Percentage Winners!!!

Based on official student enrollment, the elementary and middle schools with the highest percentage of paying participants naming their schools on the entry forms will each win $1,000 for their PTAs.  So go out and encourage your friends, family, and local businesses to scribble the name of your school on their Reedy entries!  For instance, a school could conceivably boast a 125% participation rate!  But if your school drums up 126% participation, then your PTA might win the $1,000!

 

Traditional Fit’s Cool:  By the Numbers!!!

The elementary and middle schools with the most finishers will each win $1,000 for their PTAs.

So go out and recruit plenty of friends, family members, businesses, students, faculty, and school staff members.

 

 

(2)  Alum:Mile a/k/a “The Great American Alumni Mile”

 

Vote for your alma mater and it could be a big winner! The high school and college with the most Alum:Mile finishers from its student body PLUS its alumni ranks PLUS its fans will each win cash prizes for their school’s non-profit PTA, alumni organization, or foundation. Name your favorite high school or college on your entry and help it win big!

 

$1,000 Reedy Ran-dom Head Start Challenge:  Beat the Elites!!!

Two pre-2/1/09 “early bird” 10K entrants from Upstate South Carolina will be randomly drawn in early February to receive generous head starts on the 10K field.  The man and woman Challengers will receive complimentary apparel and personal training for the final weeks leading up to Race Day.  If both Challengers finish the course and if EITHER challenger beats the elites across the finish line, EACH of the two Challengers will win $500 cash!!!

 

4-for-1 Four-person Team Challenge Spring Warm-up
