Thanks for gettin' down and dirty with us at Rugged and Raw! 

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's Rugged and Raw 10K/20K Trail Run! It was a beautiful morning and everyone had such a good time on the trails. Results have been posted here and additional photos can be found on our Facebook page. We hope to see everyone again next year!
Save the date: Treadmill Challenge

Not only is this year's Treadmill Challenge runner an amazing triathlete and ultra-marathoner, but he is also a dedicated Back on My Feet volunteer! In fact, Eloy (EJ) leads our ACE Cash Express Financial Literacy Classes and is our Rugged & Raw 10K/20K Trail Run Course Director. On Friday, December 9, EJ will be running on a treadmill outside of American Airlines Center from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to raise awareness for Back on my feet! Learn more about how you can run with him here. 
Run the Dallas Marathon and FundRace on behalf of BoMF!

Are you running the Dallas Marathon? Did you know you can run the marathon and raise funds for Back on My Feet at the same time? When you FundRace for Back on My Feet, we provide you with a race entry into some of the most popular races around the country and in return, you commit to raising a set amount of money that will go directly to the program. In many cities, including Dallas, you have the unique opportunity to run alongside the very individuals you are supporting. This year, several current members and alumni will be running in both the marathon and half-marathon. Across all BoMF chapters, hundreds of our members have completed marathons and some have even completed ultra-marathons! Learn more here.
