Relay for Life 2011 Sapphire Team

The Sodico Runners raised more than $15,000.00 in the 2011 Relay for Life of Elizabethtown! This fundraising landmark brings three significant distinctions to the group:

1. We were the biggest fundraising team in Elizabethtown for 2011
2. We were the first team to ever raise $15,000.00 in Elizabethtown
3. We were the first "new" team to ever raise the most funds

We are very proud of our 2011 fundraising accomplishments and look forward to many more in the future!

On the night of Relay for Life, Sodico Runners will have a licensed massage therapist on site selling therapeutic massages. This is a great opportunity to come and get any aches or pains you may have from all of your runs, walks, swims, etc. taken care of!

To further our relationship with Krispy Kreme. Sodico Runners will be offering fresh Krispy Kreme Donuts the night of Relay. So come by on Friday, May 13th and grab a donut or dozen!

Sodico Runners are proud to have Durham Beef as a part of the 2011 Relay for Life. Durham Beef is grass, grain fed cattle which is USDA inspected. Plus Durham Beef is always hormone and antibiotic free. So come by Relay for Life on Friday, May 13th and get a Durham Beef Burger!

Kentucky Kernel Kettle Corn is excited to be a part of Relay for Life Elizabethtown 2011.

Big Fundraising News!

Sodico Runners passed the $3000.00 mark for dollars raised so far. With about 80 days left until the event, I'm really feeling good about where we are. The original $5000.00 goal will fall pretty quickly I think...the sky's the limit with our upcoming fundraisers, our new team members, and the activities that we will have on the day of the event. Keep up the good work Sodico Runners!

Team member Jessica Gray will be teaching a running class at Energy in E-town.

Class will begin the first week of March, on Tuesday evenings at 6:00 and Saturday mornings at 9:00. The class will have a goal of running the Heartland 5K together on June 4. A great class for beginning runners, runners wanting to work on speed training and even anyone wanting to have accountability partners on a normal basis.
