Hey all, this is an ad placed by a friend of mine for a walking coach in the Seattle area. It includes a coaching stipend and an all-expense paid trip to Sonoma, CA. If you are interested or you know anyone who is interested, please send them her way.
The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) is gearing up for their second season of Team Challenge here in the Northwest. Team Challenge is an endurance training program that trains participants to run or walk a half marathon while they raise critical research dollars for the Foundation. In exchange for raising funds, CCFA provides professional coaching services, health & nutrition clinics, fundraising tips, and an all expense paid trip to the 1/2 marathon destination.
Training begins late March and the Northwest CCFA Chapter is in need of a Walk Coach to get local participants ready for the Napa to Sonoma Wine Country Half Marathon taking place on July 20th. A 16 week training program will be provided as a suggested outline to help the Walk Coach train Team Challenge participants. The Walk Coach will work closely with the Northwest Run Coach to develop and enhance participant's training, tailoring to each individual's athletic ability and fitness goals. The Walk Coach and Run Coach will help the Northwest Team Challenge Manager host nutrition, health, and run/walking clinics for participants to gain knowledge on how to live a healthy and active lifestyle beyond the training program.
Travel and lodging in Napa California is provided for all Team Challenge participants and coaches. Coaches will receive a stipend for their time and training expertise. For every walker who completes their fundraising and training the Walk Coach will receive $100.00. The Northwest chapter expects to take 42-45 local residents to Napa and estimates that about 20 of those will be walkers.
20 walkers who have completed their fundraising & training= $2,000 for the Walk Coach!!
With training right around the corner the Northwest chapter is looking to hire a Walk Coach immediately. Please contact the Northwest Team Challenge Manager for more information and to apply for the position.
