Fun Run/Walk


Children's Walk the Talk Challenge
Children's Medical Center 's clinical nutrition team would like to challenge our fellow professionals to a "walk the talk" challenge at the upcoming Dallas Dietetic Association's Fun Run Event. To meet the challenge and win bragging rights, your team needs to have at least 60% participation (running, walking, or volunteering) at the event. Let's "walk the talk" by stepping out of our comfort zone and showing we are active just as we encourage our patients/clients to be. If you would like to enter the challenge, be sure your staff follow these instructions provided by the event organizers
...



Runners/walkers list their organization when they register online at Getmeregistered.com On step 2 there is a "recruited by" box. This is where you would put your organization's name.

For helpers on the day of the race, we will have sign up sheets that require an organization name. The event organizers will combine the info and get the data needed to establish participation rates.

If I can offer any further support to help you inspire your teams to get out there and Walk the Talk contact me.

Looking forward to seeing you on April 19th.
