The Enspiring Race | Registration Deadline August 20th
By Kwaku Adu-Poku
The deadline to register for the Enspiring Race is this coming Friday, August 20th. The Challenge: assemble a four person fundraising team of your finest men and/or women to compete in a physically and mentally challenging race, for a good cause.
Registration for the event is $100.00 per team, and includes a $400.00 fundraising minimum, but you should feel more than free to go above and beyond in your fundraising efforts. It's for a good cause after all. This November, Enspire will send a team of 15 ambassadors to Norzagaray Bulacan in the Philippines in order to continue construction on a community housing project. The goal is to relocate slum dwellers from a poor area in Metro Manila into these newly constructed homes, and with each home taking about $12,000 to build, the more you can fundraise the better. All funds raised from the race go directly towards the project.
So, what exactly does the race have in store for all of you eager competitors?
Teams of four will race by foot and public transit from 9:30AM to 1:30PM around the city completing a series of challenges that require each team to use their team work - mental and physical - skills. Teams will receive clues to find each station. At each station, teams will be required to complete a community related challenge. Once the challenge is completed, teams will receive their clue to the next station. After completing each challenge, teams will receive a piece to a puzzle. These pieces will be used at the final station. The winning team will be the first to complete the puzzle in the shortest amount of time. Prizes for Winning Team and Top Fundraiser!
Enspire's mission is to empower, educate and encourage individuals to help themselves and help others. The race will give young adults the opportunity to travel to another country to aid in the building of educational and housing facilities. It won't be easy, but it will be tons of fun. And most rewarding of all is the feeling that you will get from not only completing the challenge, but knowing that your contribution is making a difference.
What are you waiting for!? Visit the race's website for more info on registration, and get ready to bring your A game!
