SagerStrong Foundation Fun Run is Going VIRTUAL
Run/Walk From Home THIS WEEKEND with the SagerStrong Foundation to help raise funds for #bloodcancer research.

With MLB reopening with no fans in the stands this year, the SagerStrong Stadium Fun Run has been converted into a VIRTUAL FUN RUN weekend -- so join us THIS WEEKEND - August 21-23 to have fun, give blood & raise money for #bloodcancer research, and we'll plan to return to Truist
Park, home of our partners, the Atlanta Braves, in 2021, since cancer never takes a break!
Be the social distance champion by participating in one of our Virtual events this year. Sign up
to run your 3K, 5K, 10k or half marathon race, anytime from Friday, August 21, 2020 at 7:00 am – Sunday, August 23rd at 11:59 pm, to help support the Foundation and make a difference! You can even take the SagerStrong Challenge - 'RUN FOR THE CYCLE' and complete all 4 individual distances completing 39.1 miles over the event weekend -- completely up to you! We will have a leader board for each race, via RunSignUp/RaceJoy! Also, send photos of you and your family "running" to stay "SagerStrong" in your most colorful outfits—we will have a prize
for the runner in best #SagerStyle!
For your participation, you will be listed on our Wall of Fame, in honor of Craig, and you will
receive a COMMEMORATIVE face mask after the race, and more! You will receive information for the weekend – with specifics regarding the virtual run, how to pull down your virtual bib, report your times, access the leader board, once you register.

The SAGERSTRONG Foundation was founded in 2016 by former Turner Sports Reporter and Personality Craig Sager and his wife Stacy, to fund and support blood cancer research and trials, so that one day, leukemia patients and their families will not have to go through the battle they
endured. The Foundation has raised over 1.1 million dollars to help fund blood cancer research, including two clinical trials at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, a grant with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to support the Beat AML Master Trial, and a two, year, cutting-edge research project grant with the V Foundation for Cancer Research in 2019.
