Half Marathon Training Program Begins in January

Make your dream to run or walk the Country Music Half Marathon on April 27, 2013 a reality. Join Health Plus as we partner with Gilda’s Club of Nashville to offer a 16 week comprehensive training program designed to help you reach your goal. Joining Gilda’s Gang is a great way to get fit and give back to men, women and children in our community who are affected by cancer.

NEW this year, we also have a Mini-Marathon (2.6 miles) option, and the ever-popular Gilda’s Groupies (NO training, just lots of fun on race day)!

Inspired by Dr. Gail Addlestone, GILDA’S GANG is a great way to get fit and give back to the men, women, and children in our community who are living with cancer! Each team member must commit to raise $750 to support the free programs at Gilda’s Club.

• Gilda’s Gang registration fee is $75 (goes towards fundraising goal)
• All participants commit to raise $750 for Gilda’s Club programs by March 15
