Home:Member Resources:Service:Run For Reagan:2 Weeks to Race Day

2 Weeks to Race Day

• By now, all 20 runners have been identified. Although it isn't necessary for them to run the race (jogging and walking are perfectly acceptable), they need to start training to make sure they are capable of completing 1/4 mile.


• Runners start to collect donations, usig the Record of Individual Donations (pdf) to keep track of who has donated. Runners should issue Donation Receipts (pdf) when they collect cash; checks are made payable to the Alzheimer's Association. On race day, each runner will turn in his/her record of individual donations along with the money he/she has collected.


• Double check the rules and regulations of the track to make sure that you will be in compliance.


• Recruit a first aid team for the event. It's important to have a first responder nearby in case someone gets hurt. A good place to look for volunteers is your local fire department , campus medical center, or campus police. Ask the first aid volunteer to arrive one-hour prior to the start of the race. If you are unable to find a trained volunteer, then you need to alert local emergency services. Write a letter to the police chief with the date, time, and place of the Run For Reagan so that they can be prepared to assist you in case of emergency.


• Copy and paste the initial press release into a Word document so you can edit, print, and mail copies to the media (school newspaper, school radio, school website/calendar, community newspapers, community television, etc.)
