TheCoolJew Coverage of Jrunners 2010 / 5770
Monticello, NY - A concert took place in front of hundreds Thursday afternoon to mark the finish Line of The Jrunners 2010. Camps, bungalow colonies, and familes came far and wide to see the 2010 Jrunners pass the finish line. Music was by Evenal Orchestra and featured Lipa Schmeltzer, Eitan Katz, Shea Rubenstein, Dovid Stein, Shloime Dachs, Eli Beer and Mendy Worsch. As featured in Emunah Magazine: The first-ever Jewish runners club, JRunners, was recently founded in Brooklyn by three 30-ish Brooklynites, Steven Friedman, Matt Katz and Saul Rosenblum, family men and professionals who love to run. What they love even more is running for good causes—so when a neighbor contracted ALS, a severe degenerative disease also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, they put together a non-profit organization to bring Jewish runners together to raise money for charity. Their tag line is “We Run for Those Who Can’t!” and their first race was for the benefit of that ALS family. Each runner raised a minimum of $1,000 and was given tools to help him accomplish that goal. It took 10 teams of 10 runners through some of the most scenic (and Jewish) areas of the United States and take approximately 22 hours to complete. It’s split into 30 legs and each runner completes three legs, running a total of 12 miles. Teams were provided with RV vehicles equipped with restrooms, beds, and showers between the various exchange points. MORE VIDEOS WILL BE RELEASE OVER THE NEXT WEEK.
