To become a Team Captain:
You may nominate someone (or yourself) by simply tweeting:
I nominate (@handle of nominee) to be a #Run3rd Team Captain.
Add a few words of support and list an event they might Captain.
Team Captains Responsibilities:
- Tweet about #run3rd
- Encourage people to make dedications.
- Answer occasional Twitter questions about #run3rd.
- Direct followers to run3rd.blogspot.com.
- Tweet about their event
- Date/Time/Place/Updates.
- Info about #run3rd signs.
- Share Team Captain race day plans.
- Be visible as the #Run3rd Team Captain before & after the event
- Visit with the #Run3rd community.
- Share the #Run3rd story with others.
- Tweet about the event afterwards (hopefully with pictures) and provide recap for the blog.
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, in a way, 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.

Excited to see this new blog, especially as a beginner runner! I've nominated myself (Tyzodaddy on Twitter) and am looking forward to my first 5K this May. Would love the opportunity to be a team captain so I could be part of something bigger than myself while fulfilling a personal goal. What could be more rewarding?

ReplyDeleteJust nominated myself! My first event? The Brenda Mehling Cancer Fund Fight it!5K on June 2nd!
ReplyDeleteThen I'm going international! Clontarf Half Marathon in Dublin, Ireland July 7th!
I just nominated myself as well on twitter. NONE of my friends or family tweet. But I have 5 people who are new to running (AT ALL) coming with me and running their first ever half marathon. I'm s0o0o excited I'm skipping hw and going to start working on making us a patch or a shirt or a sign for this weekend! Good luck to you all! Follow me on twitter @brandiecakez
ReplyDeleteI just nominated myself as a Team Captain in the South Bay and Bay Area of California. I'm running the Pleasanton race today in memory of little Leila Fowler, a Twitter user's aunt, and my friend's father who passed away last night. After a year of running I found that it's more worthwhile to run for others! Twitter: @iRunDisney & @flowerscroon
