RUNNERS BENEFITS
I. Staying Connected to THON – THON Express provides an incredible opportunity for Penn State/THON alums to stay involved in THON. After graduation many alums feel disconnected to THON and this event is built on the same foundation as THON and of course every step and dollar is FOR THE KIDS!
II. Meet People with the Same Passion – THON Express runners/volunteers start off strangers for the most part. It is amazing what can happen in just 24 hours. Be prepared to become a family with these individuals who cheer you on, who you support and who want to make a difference and live with a purpose.
III. Raise More – THON Express is looking to dramatically increase the amount of funds that are raised. In its inaugural run the event raised $5,000. In year two over $13,000 was collected, and that is just the start of what can be done with this event.
IV. Run For A Reason – If you are applying for this event chances are you like running to some degree. This run is unlike any one that you have ever done and will entirely change your perspective of what it means to running.
V. Be Part of Something Unique – THON Express is just getting into its strides. New ideas are constantly formulating about how to improve and enhance the impact this makes. All volunteers are a huge determinate in the growth of THON Express and you have the opportunity to advance this event to the potential that we know it has.
VI. Have Fun!!! – Not just during THON Express itself but also throughout the entire event runners and volunteers are treated to an experience that will stay with them forever, and one that results in laughter, memories and tears as well.
