Just received some awesome news for all you runners, or non-running charity-minded people, out there. As if the adidas adiZero Charity Challenge wasn't good enough before, they're upping the ante as we speak. For every mile logged from 8 a.m. today, Sunday, April 17, until 7:59 a.m. tomorrow morning, April 18, even more money will be donated to charity. Run your mile from 8 a.m. to midnight and $10 will go into the pot that adidas is donating to three charities, Boston Public Schools, Fund For Boston Neighborhoods and AKTIV against cancer. Run your mile from midnight to 7:59 a.m. and $20 will be donated in your name. Those are pretty good stakes!
Check before heading out to run at midnight tonight though...according to earlier information I had the challenge was supposed to end at 11:59 p.m. tonight, before we actually roll into Marathon Monday. Or rather than be wary, just head over to those three adidas stations--Hynes Convention Center, City Hall Plaza and Fanueil Hall--and run your mile for charity now, add one mile and you'll get that $20 without having to run in the middle of the night.
Signing out for now--gotta go check out the Boston finish line!
