Friends or Family in Dallas/Ft. Worth? Well, this is your chance to visit them and give back at the same time! We need a someone who has a sense of adventure as we Race Across the USA! Our cause is childhood obesity. Duties include driving and supporting runners as they cross the country. This unprecedented opportunity starts on January 15 and ends on March 19, 2015. We will start in Huntington Beach, CA. Rest days have been added so that runners can visit schools along the way. Ten athletes will run the entire course. Up to 20 others may sign up to run a state. Requirements: Looking for someone who is able bodied, can lift up to 20 lbs at once, be a licensed driver (any state) and have auto insurance. Gas will be reimbursed. We have accommodations for you... but it won't be fancy.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to spark a physical activity revolution across the United States by creating low-cost, family-friendly running and walking events that appeal to all ages, especially today's youth.
Description
We are a mission-driven organization who aims to have large-scale, positive health outcomes in the communities in which we operate. If some path will result in a greater impact in terms of the number of participants and/or the amount of good we do, we will favor this course of action. This includes our events or the amount of money we raise for our charity partner. If forced to choose, we weigh the impact of children higher than adults.
Our organization is volunteer run. While we do pay the Race Director a small stipend to maintain continuity, nearly everyone else is an unpaid volunteer. We seek to create a win-win environment where staff volunteers and interns can learn and grow in skills and experience with a time commitment as little as 2-4 hours/week. We specifically look for folks who want to give back, those who believe in our cause and those that with benefit in other ways outside of monetary compensation. We will write a recommendation letter after 90 days of satisfactory work.
Our events are built around the local community. The name of the event includes the name of the city where it is held, and we hire a local and race director. We partner with local businesses to finance our event. We also partner with a local charity for race-day volunteers and to receive funds raised.
