Welcome to CureGRIN's Get Moving for GRI Event Page!

We are excited to kick off our 3rd annual virtual physical family challenge to promote healthy lifestyles while raising money to help find therapies and cures for those living with GRI Disordesr.

During the month of July, we encourage you to set a distance challenge of your choice:

• Half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km)
• Marathon (26.2 miles / 42.2 km)
• Ultramarathon (50 miles / 80.5 km)

You don’t have to decide which distance you are aiming for when you register – just get moving and see how far you can go! The time it takes you to complete the distance does not matter, as long as you begin and complete it during July.

You can run, hike, walk, skip or stroll while social distancing outside or stay indoors on a treadmill, all to support CureGRIN!

How to Participate:

Please consider supporting CureGRIN in one or more of the following ways:

1. Register as an Individual Walker / Runner: Just get out and walk or run and track your distance. Share your journey to help spread awareness and fundraise if you feel comfortable, but not required. T-shirt is included in the $40 registration fee.
2. Order a Yard Sign: Send an email to info@curegrin.org with a picture of your child and your child's name. We will input your information and send you a link to order! Price is $29.80 + Shipping. 
3. Start a Virtual Team: Start your own team of family members, friends, and neighbors. Set your fundraising goal and each participant contributes to our overall goal through online peer-to-peer fundraising.
4. Donate: Can’t participate? Support GRIN Disorder research by donating.
5. Help spread the word: Share our posts and help fundraise for an individual, a team or CureGRIN.
6. Sponsor a Team: CureGRIN will virtually promote your generous support to our email list that includes supporters from around the world, as well as through website recognition and social media. For more information, please contact info@curegrin.org

Together we can reach our goal of raising $50,000 for GRI Disorder!

Prizes:

We will be giving away CureGRIN swag (t-shirts, car decals, and more)!

If the suggested distances are not a big enough challenge for you, we've got a few competitive and fun categories for you overachievers to take on:

• Fastest to complete the ultramarathon challenge
• Most miles covered during the 31-day challenge
• Most miles in one day
• Most funds raised by an individual
• Most funds raised by a team
• Most creative team names
• Photo contests

Be sure to share your challenge photos on your Social Media using the hashtag #GetMovingForGRI.

Rules and FAQs:

All miles should be completed during July 1 – 31.

Miles may be run or walked outside, inside on the treadmill, on street/paved routes, or trails. All recorded running/walking miles count.

Participants should keep their own record of the distance they cover during the month (on an honor system) and submit confirmation of completion to info@curegrin.org to qualify for their certificate of achievement at the end. Suggested apps include Strava, fitbit or GPS trackers or old fashioned pen and paper.

Individuals should cover the distance themselves; Teams can cover the distance between team members.

Entry is open to everyone; no age limits apply.

Participants are responsible for their own (and their children’s) safety while doing this challenge and should consider their personal fitness level.
