Big Peach Sizzler 10K .... check!

This past weekend, our team participated in the Big Peach Sizzler 10K! For many participants, this was their very first race and it was a great time! The Big Peach Running Company is a huge sponsor of Team Challenge and we are so lucky to have such a great relationship with the store!
Some of our participants and mentors at the finish line!
For those that did not run in the race, Coach Max led a 4 mile run through Buckhead and down Peachtree Road! No matter how far we're running, we always have a great time!
Our endurance manager, Angel, crossing the finish line! Way to go ... you're looking good!
Team Challenge was a featured charity of the Big Peach Sizzler. They presented us with a check for $2,500! We are so thankful to the Big Peach!

Team Challenge also won an award for the largest team running the race! No matter where we go, Team Challenge GEORGIA is always a force to be reckoned with!

And we're off!

Our winter season of Team Challenge has officially started, and it's shaping up to be an amazing season! We have wonderful coaches, mentors, and so many awesome participants so far!

There is still plenty of time to get involved --- join us for a bonus information meeting on September 1st at 6pm at the CCFA office or on September 8th at 6:30 at the Toco Hills Library in Decatur. We'd love for you to be a part of our team!

We held our kickoff party this past weekend at Maggianos and had a great time. We got to meet our coaches, mentors, CCFA staff, and two of our honored teammmates! James did a wonderful job speaking and certainly motivated so many people to help raise money to find a cure for little kids like him!


Our wonderful coaches, Max and Mary!

Our youngest honored teammate, James, gave an awesome speech at our kickoff party!

By the end of our season, this board will be full of honored teammates --- those who are fighting the battle against Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis!

Team Challenge Warriors!


Team Georgia sent it's most dedicated and experienced warriors to Mountain City, GA on Sunday, May 23rd to compete in the Warrior Dash!

This three mile run has a few more challenges than your average 5k! Participants scaled walls, walked on water, jumped over fire, swam over logs, hiked through the forrest and crawled through mud!

This was a great team building exercise for all who participated. Our warriors can't wait to do it again next year! What's not to love about a race that gives you a medal, a t-shirt, a big fuzzy viking hat and a pants full of mud!

If you want to join the fun with Team Challenge go to http://www.ccteamchallenge.org/ and RSVP for an information meeting. We are taking our team to Las Vegas in December!
