How to become a #Run3rd TEAM Member

Anyone can join the #run3rd team. Just find a healthy activity—typically running, but it may also be walking, biking, swimming, etc—and start doing it!

• Share your activities via Twitter, Facebook and other social media by using "#run3rd" to ask for and share dedications. When you receive a dedication, honor it and carry it in your heart during your activity. 
• Join the #run3rd Facebook group at http://facebook.com/groups/run3rd.
• Support the efforts of fellow #run3rd team members.

Certain team members may be made Captains by demonstrating their participation and leadership abilities. Their responsibilities include:

• Sharing information about #Run3rd via Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites.
• Encouraging people to make dedications.
• Answering questions about #run3rd.
• Directing followers to run3rd.com and facebook.com/groups/run3rd.
• Tweeting about their event
• Posting date/time/location and updates via Twitter and the Facebook group Events page.
• Sharing Team Captain race day plans.
• Being visible as the #Run3rd Team Captain before and after the event
• Visiting with the #Run3rd community.
• Sharing the #Run3rd story with others.
• Team captains are encouraged to post race reports about their event on their own blogs or Facebook page.

Team Captains are the key to broadening the reach of the #Run3rd idea. Running is an inclusive sport and almost everyone who runs at some time or other uses their experience to honor someone or something else. Members of Team #Run3rd understand that we are custodians of people's trust and faith. When folks make a #Run3rd dedication it is often very personal and heartfelt. #Run3rd Captains are ambassadors who help promote and extend the concept of making and honoring those dedications.

Team Captains are expected to represent #Run3rd with compassion, decency and honor, always reflecting well on their fellow Team Captains and the #Run3rd mission. Failure to do so will result in removal from Captaincy.
