"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!
