Gasparilla and Challenged Athletes Foundation Announce the
Return of the Competitive Wheelchair Division for 2009
The Gasparilla Distance Classic and the new Florida Chapter of the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) are bringing back the competitive Wheelchair Division in the 2009 Publix Super Markets Gasparilla Distance Classic 15K. This will include a prize purse that is expected to attract some of the world’s best wheelchair athletes.
You can support this effort, and the efforts of challenged athletes throughout the Tampa Bay area, by joining Team CAF Gasparilla 2009. You only need to raise a minimum of $100 for CAF through their easy to use Race for a Reason website. Here’s what team members can enjoy:
· Attend and observe the challenged athlete training clinic Friday afternoon, taught by some of the world’s best challenged athletes;
· Meet and get a photo with legendary father-son duo Dick and Rick Hoyt (Team Hoyt!), who are multiple Ironman and Boston Marathon finishers.
· Attend a Friday night reception at Expo Hall with the Hoyts and other world class wheelchair athletes.
· Race as a member of Team CAF Gasparilla 2009, complete with a specially designed team running shirt.
· Capitalize on a heartwarming opportunity to help disabled adults and kids discover the athlete inside themselves.
· If you wish, gather friends and co-workers together in a group effort!
