How the event works
Reps for a Reason is a partner-based fitness program. Organizers are encouraging participants to sign up with a current or former mentor, or someone who has made a positive impact in their life. Team divisions include men/men and women/women pairs. A children’s division is also available, making the program open to children ages 6 and up.

Why is mentorship central to organizing?
