runHers announces Funky Monkey as the Presenting Sponsor for the 2010 Inaugural Princess Run. “We are very excited about being a part of the Princess Run,” say Funky Monkey owners Brittany Faulkner and Jennifer Najera. “We have little girls ourselves, so we feel as if this event hits home to us. We know how important it is to make your little girl feel special. There was no hesitation on our part to jump on board when we were asked to sponsor the race.” White says runhers is thrilled with the partnership. Najera adds, “I am very excited to know that there is a great group of women who are getting out there and promoting healthy living and raising money for such a great cause. We are so happy to be a part of runhers and plan on more partnerships with runhers on these lifestyle events.”
“The Princess Run is really a great opportunity to bring young girls together in an event that focuses on fitness and exercise as a fun activity,” says run director Amy White. “As a group, runhers is a diverse women’s association who have found that healthy lifestyle, running and walking is great for themselves – inspiring to their families, friends and communities – as well as an outlet that allows women to stay healthy while spending time with friends. We want to pass that spirit of camaraderie and healthy living onto the next generation.”
The race will be held rain or shine on March 28th at 2:00pm at Stars and Stripes Park on Lake Hefner and will feature a one-mile course for the Princesses to run, walk or stroll through. At the finish line, all Princesses will be awarded a medal and treated to chocolate milk and a cupcake. Other activities at the event include inflatable jumpers, face painting, a nail “salon”, craft area and more! It’s a run so fun you’ll think it’s a fairy tale! The Princess Run benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma society of Oklahoma.
