By joining the PETA pack, you'll get access to 13 fun weeks of professional coaching from Coach Darren, our "pack leader." He will help you learn how to run if you've just started or help you achieve new goals if you're already a runner. Darren has been supporting, inspiring, and nurturing runners for 20 years. With his informative and motivational exercise training, great vegan diet tips, and caring nature, he's the perfect coach for our pack!

The PETA Pack is a team of compassionate and motivated people just like you who want to protect animals. Like the best rescue mutts the PETA Pack welcomes runners and walkers of all fitness levels. Some of us are new to running while others are experienced marathoners. We have one thing in common: We want to make PETA a stronger voice for animals!

You can run in the beautiful Bay Area and join our weekly training sessions every Saturday morning, or you can train remotely and join us for the race itself on Sunday, February 1, 2009, in spectacular San Francisco. Every week, Coach Darren will send you a training plan so that you know just what to do. If you can't get to San Francisco for the race, you can join us in spirit and run your race in your hometown!

Professional personal fitness coaching can be pricey, but that's not how it works with the PETA Pack. Instead of paying for the training, each member of the PETA Pack promises to do their best to raise $1,000 in donations from friends, family members, and colleagues to help PETA stop animal abuse and suffering.

The PETA Pack's top fundraisers can win some fabulous prizes!

All PETA Pack members will receive a technical running shirt to wear on race day, a great goodie bag with cruelty-free treats, a PETA water bottle, and 13 weeks of free training. There will also be a celebration party just after the race!

We have wonderful prizes lined up for our best fundraisers (how does a trip to Hawaii sound?). Check the PETA Pack Prize link, below, for details!
