the HOOPING the HALF faqs - PART 1

 

First, please download the informational packet here (pdf) and read through it.

  Here are some extra things that may not be covered in it:

 

I want to learn more about the event, is there another way to do this instead of just

online info?

Yes!  Either come to our first training weekend (details) or come to the Hooping LIfe Screening (details).  You will have two great opportunities to meet up with the leadership team and other people who have participated in the past events.

 

By when do I need to make my decision?

Since training for a half-marathon (hooping or walking) takes a big time commitment, we need you to make your final decision by Feb 1st.  This is the date that your registration is due.  The registration fee to join Team Hooping the Half is $80 and the deadline to register with us is February 1.  You must also register for the Country Music Half Marathon as well.

 

When is the training? Where do we train?

We start off at Shelby Bottoms for the first part and then we end up training pieces of the actual

course so that by the time the event comes you will be super familiar with the landscape and can

focus on having fun! The 16-week training program begins the weekend of January 13-14.

I am really interested in participating, but I don't have a friend to join me and I am a bit shy and

nervous to do this all on my own. Any thoughts about this?

Oh- don't worry about that!  We have had lots of participants join the team without someone they new

and they always made fast friends... even lots of new lifetime friends.  We have a wonderful

support staff who is super friendly and ready to help you along the way!
