That’s right, on Saturday November 8th starting at 7 AM you get a chance to Outrun the FBI and have your money go to a great cause! The Phoenix FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association (FBICAAA) is sponsoring the first ever ‘Outrun the FBI’ race benefiting Educational programs for schools and parents on the safety of the internet. I have been told that all money raised for this event will stay in state so all the money raised will help kids and adults around the state.
So why is the event called ‘Outrun the FBI’?
Well it’s a 3.1 mile/5K race where runners and walkers will get a head start. Sometime after the racers/walkers are into the race the FBI runners will start and will try to outrun the field. All of those runners who beat the FBI will get a special “I outran the FBI” T-shirt. The race is open to individual runners and teams (must have at least 5 to a team and no more than 10 to a team).
Once runners cross the finish line, there will be a wide array of food, music, demonstrations by the FBI and other cool things to do. You don’t have to participate in the run to enjoy the family friendly fun, food, and music.
Check-in for the race begins at 7 AM and the Race starts promptly at 8:00 AM.
There will be awards handed out in many age categories and for teams as well.
Race Fees:
Before Oct. 31, 2008: $25/individual, $20/team member (teams must be 5-10 people); After Oct. 31, 2008: $30/individual, $25/team member
