Team FEARLESS Fun Run — Life on Planet Marrs

We are ONE: Team FEARLESS
Virtual FUN “Run”

2020 has been a challenging year for many of us, so why don’t we create our own challenges, CRUSH THEM, and then celebrate TOGETHER this September as we all cross our own finish lines wherever we are.

When Ellen Marrs first learned that this year’s Boston Marathon was going to be a virtual event, she had to take a few days to let that soak in. This was supposed to be her third, and final, consecutive year running from the starting line in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, through beautiful New England towns, on the way to the finish line on Boylston Street in downtown Boston. This was to be Ellen’s best year yet. However, just like many other special events in 2020, the Boston Marathon experienced its first ever change of date AND venue.

After thinking through her options, Ellen decided to continue training for the big day and fundraising for 261 Fearless*, the non-profit organization that helps women all over the globe through a non-judgmental and non-competitive running community. Then, Ellen started thinking through her options, her attitude, and her on-going desire to create strong and supportive communities. That’s when this virtual “Fun Run” idea was born. Ellen decided…

“If the world can’t go to Boston this year, we’ll just take Boston to the world.”

That said, we are excited to spend the next three months with YOU. We are going to set goals together, put action plans in place, and cross our own individual finish lines during the weekend of September 11-14th, 2020. YOU set your own goal, whether it involves walking, running, hiking, swimming, biking, climbing stairs, hula hooping, etc. YOU pick your physical goal and we’ll be here to support you and cheer you all the way to the finish line. In addition, we will be spending time together in a private online group, so get ready to be inspired, challenged, acknowledged, and celebrated.

We are truly ONE in this endeavor and everyone is welcome to participate:

All seasons, stages, genders, religions, races, paces, shapes, sizes …

**So, here’s how you can join us.**

Pick a goal that you'd like to accomplish in September 2020. (Not sure yet? No worries. We’ll help you figure it out.)
Make a decision and commit that you will spend this summer working towards your goal with a group of like-minded people in our private online community.
Be ready for some teaching, accountability, partnership, acknowledgment, and CELEBRATION! We will ALL be celebrating one another's individual goals and finish line victories in September.

*All proceeds from this event will go to the 261 Fearless non-profit organization. Like most charities, they are still serving others despite limited resources, because of all the current difficulties in the world.
