Jan 25, 2022

Happy New Year! Like many of us, you probably resolved to make 2022 a year to be healthier and more active. Great idea! And we’d like to help you by asking you to join the Split Second Rollers for the 2022 Crescent City Classic on April 16!


You’ll get into great shape, and you’ll be raising funds for an organization that is breaking barriers for people living with disabilities!


Yes, I’d like to join the Split Second Rollers team for the 2022 Crescent City Classic!

 

Easy instructions for registering:

  • When you go to the registration link, simply fill out the form (if you’re a returning roller, you’ll just need to sign in)
  • Select “Run it for Charity”
  • Select your t-shirt size
  • Put in your estimated finish time (a safe bet is 1 hour and 20 minutes)
  • Select “I/Charity--Orange” for your corral
  • Select “Charity Runner” and then “The Split Second Foundation”
  • From there, you will set up your personal page so you can collect donations and set your fundraising goal!


Need help? We’re here for you! 


After the race, you’ll join us at the Split Second tent to enjoy the post-race party! Food, Beverages, Music and More! 

The Crescent City Classic is one of our favorite fundraising events because we get to get out there and move with our friends, family and supporters! You can walk/run with anyone, but you can Roll with Us!


I want to be a Split Second Roller!
