Summary:
Liquid Web Designs will organize a team of Leaders and Supporters to complete the Army 10 Miler held in Washington DC, October 4th, 2009. The objective of the race is to raise funds, awareness and support for a 6-week Young Entrepreneur Bootcamp training program to be held Fall 2009.

Objective:
Our objective for the Bootcamp Students is to create an intensive learning environment, led by actual entrepreneurs, designed to educate and inspire infant businesses owners and cultivate a new generation of motivated, self-sufficient community Leaders.

Our objective for race Leaders and program Supporters is to unify through a difficult yet attainable "out of comfort zone" activity to give back to the community while promoting teamwork, service and health.

History:
In 2007, Edward Rosemond, President and CEO of Liquid Web Designs, focused on a goal with the sole purpose of 'giving back' to his community. On a whim, he decide to compete in the Army 10 Miler, the Baltimore Marathon and the Marine Corps Marathon, all within a 3 week span. The objective was to raise funds and awareness for the then "Young Entrepreneur Summit." The idea was based on the concept that, even though Ed had never done anything like this, seemingly unattainable goals can be achieved through hard work, dedication, determination and focus. Ed could not write a check large enough to change anyone's life but could pledge an effort intended to be much more powerful.

The Cause:
As a lifetime entrepreneur with little formal entrepreneurial education, it has always been an ongoing challenge to learn how to maintain a successful business. Resources are available through plenty public and private sources but guidance regarding if, when and how to utilize these resources is not so readily available. The knowledge and experience amassed by the network that Ed has built over the years addresses this issue and is at the heart of the Bootcamp program. It is our strategy to leverage this network to equip a select group of young adults with critical business skills necessary to become tomorrows' leaders

FAQs:

What's 10 for 10?
Each race participant will be tasked with prospecting 10 support team members, complete the 10 mile course all for the benefit of 10 young entrepreneurs. So really it could be called "10 for 10 for 10."

I can't run because of injury, health or age reasons. Can I still participate?
Yes! We have a team who will be power-walking the race. All of the benefits with none of the impact!

I don't know if this is something I am physically capable of doing. How can I figure that out?
Come out and discuss your concerns with one of the two consulting sports medicine doctors available.

I'm not in shape and have never done this type of thing before. Can I do this?
The purpose of participating is to get out of your comfort zone and give. Very few, if any, of your fellow participants have participated in a road race before and, most likely, are not in this type of shape themselves. We will provide a training plan to gradually get you prepared. The race is a long way off (October 4th, 2009), so there is plenty of time to prepare.

What are the costs?
Registration for the Army 10 Miler opens on April 1st and traditionally fills up in three days. Yes, 30,000 racers will max out the field in 3 WEEKS! This year's entry fees have not yet been published but the fee for the 2008 Army Ten Miler was $47.

For the Bootcamp we are looking to raise at least $5000 to cover fees and expenses associated with organizing and conducting the Bootcamp. All proceeds go directly to Bootcamp expenses.

What are the deadlines?
Our team kickoff meeting is TBD. The Army 10 Miler registration date is April 1st, 2009 and the race is October 4th, 2009.

What's the training schedule like?
In conjunction with our sports medicine doctors we will use online and other running training resources and preparation guidelines. Training is made up of individual workouts during the week and a community run on select Saturdays leading up until October 4th.
