Nine Miles for Nine Lives Fitness Challenge

We are so excited for our seventh annual Nine Miles for Nine Lives Fitness Challenge! Walk, run, ride, swim or crawl a total of nine miles during the month of August to benefit cats in the Susquehanna Valley. You can cover the distance all at once, or break it into chunks. Encourage friends and family to join you, or ask them support Cherished Cats , a 501(c)(3) non-profit, through your fundraising page. You can even link it directly to a official fundraiser on Facebook to make it easy! (when prompted, you will have to allow RunSignUp to manage Facebook fundraisers for that) Ask your friends and family to sponsor a mile or encourage you to go further or faster! However you cover the distance, we very much appreciate your support! There's lots of fun throughout the month: -Awards for top participants in each category* as well as top fundraisers -Surprises for a few randomly chosen participants -Additional gift for fundraisers who raise $25 or more All participants will receive a fun swag bag to be picked up at The Scratching Post in September, or shipped for an additional fee, including an awesome t-shirt (if registered by 8/7/26), and other nice goodies. NOTE: Swags bags will not be available prior to the event, but will be worth the wait! Bags not picked up at The Scratching Post by the end of September will be forfeited. Be safe out there, have fun, and be sure to get some recovery time snuggling with your cats (best heating pads ever!). Questions? Contact us at i nfo@cherishedcats.org. *Prizes will be awarded in the following categories: -Most miles run -Most miles biked -Most miles walked -Most miles swum -Two random participants who log at least 9 total miles -Top two fundraisers *The top finishers in each category will be determined by the total miles using that mode of exercise. Logged miles should be intentional exercise, not the total miles covered in a day. This is on your honor, but the cats are watching and you know they'll puke in your shoes
