PALM CITY, FLORIDA, February 20, 2015. - On February 20 and 21, Harbour Ridge had a total of fifteen women take part in the Annual Disney Glass Slipper Challenge; thirteen members and two staff members. In total, the ladies completed 80.6 miles in the 10K event and 52.4 miles in the ½ marathon for a total of 133 miles. They started on their own in the summer and continued all season despite busy schedules, illness and injuries. Organized weekly stretching and strengthening were scheduled, as well as team training walks.
Their commitment was inspirational. Equally interesting was the enthusiasm to try new things. For many of the ladies, walking or running in a race was a new experience. Several who had done a 10k before opted for the half marathon. The experienced half marathoner did the double run - the Glass Slipper Challenge! Our members are athletic, enthusiastic and eager to embrace new challenges.
The ladies collected sponsorship money which was raised for the Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club GO PINK! Breast Cancer Event. Funds raised from this event are donated to the Martin Memorial Breast Navigator Program. In total, the Harbour Ridge Princesses raised $2800. The GO PINK! Tournament raised a total of $51,700 for the Navigator program.
