My Miles Matter – Mileage Incentive Program

The Mebane Running Club is happy to announce a new program that we will be starting next week, the MRC’s My Miles Matter incentive program. We would like to reward those individuals who are dedicated to making a healthy lifestyle change by incorporating regular exercise into their daily lives. We hope that this will motivate more people to take on the challenge, and for those who are currently exercising regularly, reward them.

Program Details
Sign up at the Running of the Lights and pay the $5.00 entry fee or start or renew your membership online and add the Mileage program in at the end of your checkout (this is to help offset the cost of the prizes). You may also give the $5 to Tammy or Elaine (only) at a group run or at the Running of the Lights social. The sign up deadline is December 30, 2011.

Confirmation of your enrollment will be online via a name listing.
