"Flounder's Jolly Fat Man's Run"
Saturday, December 9, 2006 at 8:00 AM
Capital Crescent Trail, Bethesda, MD (4800 Bethesda Avenue)
Bigger and Better than ever, the Jolly Fat Man's Run is back!
Saturday,
December 9th at 8:00AM, we expect you and 700 other
runners/walkers to take
the Capital Crescent Trail from Bethesda towards Georgetown to
support the U.S
Marine Corps "Toys for Tots" Foundation. Your donations and
proceeds will
benefit local area children during the Holiday Season! This is a
FUN
run/walk, not a race. Ask anyone who has run The Fat Man's. It
is a blast! We'll greet you at the starting line with hot coffee
and live entertainment from DC 101's Elliot in the Morning and
The Street Team! We sing the National Anthem and get ready for
the warm-up led by our Head Sergeant. You will make your way
towards Georgetown running along the C&O Canal, with our
Sergeants there, providing support and motivation all the way.
Go 4,6,10 miles or more--this is a fun run so, it is up to you!
Just head back to the start line in Bethesda by 10 AM and
immediately proceed to RiRa, Irish Pub & Restaurant on Elm
Street for a HOT Irish Breakfast and refreshments! Included with
your donation is an UNDER ARMOUR brand shirt!
Listen-up:
Are you wondering who in the hell is Flounder? And, why are we
naming our
run in his honor? Because, he is "The Man, The Myth, The Fat
Ass" of DC's
Rock Station, DC101. Who better to help a fitness company raise
some money
for kids than a local fat boy! Last year, we challenged Flounder
to our
annual Jolly Fat Man's Run and no one remembers seeing him cross
the finish
line. This year, we challenge him again, the entire Street Team
and all
Morning Show listeners! Tune into DC101 and The Elliot in the
Morning Show,
Weekdays 5:30 AM - 10:00 AM. Listen-up November 28th-December
8th for interviews
with The Sarge, a chance to win a free one-year membership to
The Sergeant's Program, giveaways and more info about the run!
