Hey everyone,
 
This Thursday 11/19, we'll be teaming up with Nike once again, so we have to meet at the RPAC. Everything else will be exactly the same (4:30 for a 40 minute run). They will, though, be treating us to free pizza and beverages at the Varsity Club after the run, so I encourage as many people as possible to come!!
 
 Also...
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is calling all students looking to enhance their health and wellness through physical activity. If running at the RPAC is already a part of your weekly routine, or you are searching for the extra push you need to make it to the gym, we may have the right program for you. Team in Training (TNT) is the world's largest endurance sports training program. The program provides training to run or walk a full marathon or half marathon or participate in a century ( 100 mile) bike ride or triathlon. Participants raise funds for Leukemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma research and patient services in exchange for training, support and lodging and airfare to the event of their choice. Since TNT's inception, 380,000 participants have raised $900 million. The best part of it all is that while you are helping yourself, you are helping others.

We are having a fund-raising event on Sunday, November 22nd at the Applebee's located on Ackerman Road from 11AM-11PM. The attached flyer must be presented and 10% of your order (dine in, carry-out, or alcohol purchased) will go directly to our cause!  Please feel free to contact Andrea Zelinski, Campaign Director, at andrea.zelinski@lls.org or 614.476.7194 Ext 232 for more information and we hope to see you all at the event!!
 
Thanks!
 
Happy Runnings (and jumping!),

Hey there!
 
Congratulations to everyone who ran the marathon or the half...you guys rock!!
 
We are now accepting T-SHIRT ORDERS. The t-shirts this year have been designed by one of our very own (thank you Rachel Dwyer!) and they will be red and short-sleeved. The best part is, they're only $5. That's right, just five bucks. Please email osu.running.club@gmail.com with your name and size and we'll add you to our list.
 
DUES, $20! Please get your dues in. These dues are what help us do awesome things for you all (think free dinners at Eddie George's, cheap t-shirts, ice cream runs, pizza parties, indoor runs during the winter, etc.) So far only 31 people have given us money and I know there are more than that who come to the runs. Please please please remember to bring your money in. If you cannot make it to any of the runs this quarter but still want to pay your dues (to come to the socials and runs next quarter), please just reply to this email and we'll set up a time.
 
And lastly, enjoy this beautiful, positively perfect running weather that is about to grace us with its presence.
 
Happy runnings!

Get Paid to Run!
We are an event marketing agency looking for a runner to help us with an upcoming promotion. The runner must be someone who enjoys running while having fun too.  We are looking for someone to represent a major beverage client of ours by running the 5K race at the Columbus Marathon on October 18 and running behind the brand’s mascot. The runner will need to finish 19:00 – 24:00 and be able to talk for the mascot during the race event.  We will give a t-shirt and we will pay for the race registration and free product. The runner will be paid $25 to participate in the run as well as $10/hour for the duration of the run and any post event promotion (posing for photos with other runners and spectators). He or she will also receive a $100 bonus from The Eleven Agency if s/he finishes with a medal in his/her category.  The runner can also be paid for his or her participation at the Columbus Marathon Expo on October 16 & 17. 
 
If anyone in your club is interested or has any questions, please contact Cheryl Villaruz at

Volunteer at the Columbus Marathon
My name is Teryn Wessel, and I am the co-captain for the OSU Marshals of the Columbus Marathon this year.  The marathon will be held on Sunday, October 18.  I am in charge of recruiting volunteers to help guide runners along the three-mile course that is part of our campus. You can sign up to volunteer online by going to the website www.columbusmarathon.com/volunteers and clicking on "sign-up to volunteer today."  Then select the Job titled "Course Marshal Area #6" - with the location "OSU."  If you are signing up with a group, please indicate that in the "comments" section.  After you have signed up to volunteer, my co-captain and I will be emailing you more information.
 
Thank you for your time and consideration of this great opportunity!  Please email me at wessel.22@osu.edu if you have any questions.
