Slip on your running shoes and join hundreds of participants in the 7th Annual Mark Fletcher Fun Run/Walk at the 2016 NIRSA Annual Conference & Recreational Sports Expo taking place in Kissimmee, Florida from April 3–6. Set your pace as you run or walk the dedicated, marked route around the beautiful Gaylord Palms on Wednesday, April 6.
The event’s atmosphere is light, noncompetitive, and provides members with a great way to network while living the NIRSA strategic value of health and wellbeing. Attendees won’t be required to wear race bibs with timing chips to participate, but the bibs will be offered for those who want them.
Your participation in this annual event helps the NIRSA Foundation support research in the field as well as professional development opportunities for fellow NIRSA members. The Foundation’s scholarship program provides NIRSA members with opportunities to gain new skills and make connections that will help them continue building a successful career in collegiate recreation.
Annual Conference attendees can register for the Mark Fletcher Fun Run/Walk as a part of their NIRSA 2016 registration. While you can register for the Fun Run/Walk onsite, by registering in advance you’re guaranteed to receive a Mark Fletcher Fun Run/Walk T-shirt! Registration for NIRSA 2016 and the Fun Run/Walk is now open.
For more information about the 2016 Mark Fletcher Fun Run/Walk, please contact NIRSA Foundation Mark Fletcher Fun Run/Walk Committee Chair Bob Golson or NIRSA Director of Philanthropy Kate Sundstrom.
