PR4SA- The Onurmark Giving Challenge

 Onurmark Productions have chosen Shawn's Anomaly as one of their Onurmark Giving Challenge charities this year for the TX3 races: The Kemah Triathlon, Bridgeland, and Houston Triathlon.  Participants and volunteers can sign up to help raise money for Shawn's Anomaly while being a part of the events. 

This is a unique opportunity for racers and volunteers because it makes their efforts worth a lot not only to the participants but to others around them.  Just by finding a reason to race will make someone reach their greatest potential without even realizing what is happening.  The participants accountability is increased because they know they are are being supported by friends & family.  Just having that in the back of the mind of a participant makes them avoid skipping a valuable training session because they know that their is a reason they are doing what they are doing.  Most have performed better and set personal records (PR) as a result of choosing a Reason2Race.  You can join this team by follow the steps below:

1. Watch the following video about Shawn's Anomaly:


2. Register For the event you choose to compete in, click on the logo below (You can choose any of the events at these races including 5K, Kid Triathlon, Sprint Distance, and/or Olympic Distance):





3.  Join Team Shawn's Anomaly by clicking on the logo below then clicking "Join Team" under the race you registered for to set up your fund raising page. There is NO fundraising minimum, so when you set up and customize your race donation page (For an example,see Garrett's Page ), we encourage you to set your goal high ($1000 or more); because there is nothing to lose and so much to gain.  Click the link below to set up your page:


4.  Send a link to your page to all of your friends, family, co-workers, etc.  It allows you to share about your race and your added motivation to train and cross the finish line.  Letting your community know about your goals will add a new level of accountability and determination to your training.  One those day you don't want to do the long swims, bike rides or runs, knowing your community is supporting your endeavors will give you the strength to "get it done"!


On race day, look for our team tent where you can tell all of your supporters they can hang out and meet you after the race.  We will have refreshments and more information about Shawn's Anomaly for all those the are interested. 
Looking forward to seeing all of you at all of the OnUrMark triathlons, happy training, and looking forward to your personal record or "PR4SA"!
