Ready to Race for Kids @ The Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada
May 14, 2014 by radii
The Radii Team is all laced up and ready to dominate this year's Capital One Race for Kids (Corporate Challenge). Joining the ranks of corporate teams such as Kraft, Microsoft, Staples and Maple Lodge, we are ready to win it all in Toronto!
The Capital One Race for Kids is a national fundraiser that uses an urban adventure race as its core challenge. From Charlottetown to Kelowna, this event is being held at 25 communities across the country. All proceeds raised go towards supporting the local after school programs and services provided by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada. In teams of 4, contestants immerse themselves in a race that focuses the mind and challenges the body. We love being a part of this event because for us, it is not only a welcome return to our childhood and the carefree days of being a kid, but the adventure also provides us with a great opportunity for team bonding—all in the name of raising funds for a great cause!
Last year we placed 3rd. This year, we plan to only accept the top spot! You can read about how we placed 3rd last year here.
We asked our team representatives how they will rise above the competition this year. Here's what they said:
"I'll help the team to first place by navigating the course with my internal GPS."
- Tom Fung
"I plan to keep everyone fed and hydrated, so they can do the heavy lifting!"
- Honrio Cham
"This year, it is motivation all the way. I need to push the guys so that they don't second guess themselves. You can say that I plan to be the team cheerleader."
- Danielle Pronio
"Not having done one of these races before, I will follow the lead of more experienced team members. But having ran a couple of marathons and a bunch of half-marathon, hopefully I won't slow the team down. My advice, two words: cardio."
- Alex Ng
