Welcome To The Team Challenge Blogosphere!

Welcome to the Team Challenge Crohn's and Colitis Georgia blog! This is a place where participants of the Georgia team can post their Team Challenge experiences! For those of you that don't know, Team Challenge is the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's half marathon training program. Participants train to run or walk a half marathon while raising funds to find a cure Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis, two painful, unpredictable and devastating digestive diseases that affect 1.4 million Americans.

Our participants train for approx. 16 weeks with professional coaches and at the end of the program will travel with the team to a pre-selected event. If the participant meets their fundraising minimum, Team Challenge covers the cost travel, lodging, race registration, ground transportation, etc. to the event. Previous races have included the ING Miami Half Marathon and The Inaugural San Antonio Rock N' Roll Half Marathon.
