This page is your guide to everything that’s happening and changing with the Colon Cancer Challenge, day by day, as it happens.

Announcing new two-way links to Facebook and Twitter

We have now enabled Facebook and Twitter links with the Colon Cancer Challenge website, to give you two-way links to Facebook and Twitter, to and from your Colon Cancer Challenge personal web page. The “Email” tab in your personal headquarters page now contains links for Facebook and Twitter.
 
To get to these,
click here to go to your personal web page (or click on the Register/Donate button, and then click on Register/Donate/Teams/Status. On the left side of the screen is a “My HQ” heading. Under that heading, click on “Enter my HQ”.) You will be prompted for the username and password that you used at registration time. Enter those and click Continue. On your personal web page (My HQ), click on the “Email” tab. Right under the tabs, you will now see two new entries: Facebook and Twitter.
 
This is of course separate from the Facebook and Twitter links that we provided earlier on our home page. Those links take you to announcements about the Colon Cancer Challenge which are being distributed via Facebook and Twitter.

Event times have changed

Event date: Sunday, March 28 – Central Park, New York City. The events are now one hour later than they had originally been scheduled.
  • 4-Mile Run: 10:00 a.m.   [Note the time change]
  • 1.7-Mile Walk: 10:00 a.m.   [Note the time change]
  • 15K Run: 11:15 a.m.   [Note the time change]
Detailed Event-Day Information is shown here, including directions and maps.

Registrations are now filled for 4-Mile and 15K runs. Some limited spots for the Remembrance and Prevention Walk are available at the event.

Due to the overwhelming support for this year’s event, the 4-Mile Run and 15K Run events have reached their capacity, and registration for these two events is now closed. There are no spots left for either running event. On-line registration for the Walk is also closed; however, some spots for the Walk may be available at the event site.

There will be a small number of official Remembrance and Prevention Walk slots available on the day of the event on a first-come-first-served basis. These will be available at the NYRR registration tent on Center Road in the Park starting at 8:30 a.m. These slots are limited.

The walk is a very important part of the Challenge event and a focal point for the colorectal cancer community.
 
Although both running events have sold out, the 2010 Challenge still has a long way to go to meet its
fundraising goals. Please register for the Remembrance and Prevention Walk and support the fight against colorectal cancer.
 
And if you can’t come to Central Park, we are pleased to be able to offer the brand-new Virtual Runner program. See the next item.

Announcing the New Virtual Runner Program

For the first time, New York Road Runners and the Colon Cancer Challenge are offering a program called Virtual Runners.
 
We realize not everyone can make it to Central Park in New York City on Sunday morning March 28th.
 
AN IMPORTANT NEW ADDITION TO OUR VIRTUAL CHALLENGE PLATFORM IS OUR NEW YORK ROAD RUNNERS VIRTUAL RUNNER. For the first time in Challenge History, Virtual Runner allows you to RUN either the 4-mile or 15K Challenge runs wherever you are in the world and submit your running time on-line (by midnight Eastern Time on 3/28) for posting on the New York Road Runners Web Site!

information and and instructions are provided here.
