The Lance Armstrong Foundation comes to San Jose July 13
Cyclists, runners, walkers, cancer survivors and spectators of all ages are invited to join Lance Armstrong at the San Jose LIVESTRONG Challenge, hosted by the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) and presented by Nike. A post-Challenge celebration featuring food, drinks and live entertainment will immediately follow. Event hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Festival Area at S. Almaden Blvd. and Park Ave. in San Jose. For more information and to register for the LIVESTRONG Challenge, visit www.livestrongchallenge.org/sanjose. Each Challenge participant is required to pay a $50 registration fee. There is an additional $250 fundraising minimum for cyclists, but no further fundraising requirement for walkers and runners, though everyone is encouraged to raise funds. Participants can register individually or as a team, choosing to bike 10, 40, 70 or 100 miles, or walk or run in the community 5K. The combined walk/run allows individuals of all fitness levels to participate. In addition to walking, running and riding, the LAF urges members of the community to volunteer and cheer on participants during the event.
