We have just received word that pre-registration for the Broad Street Run is currently open. Accenture has reserved 40 spots that are only available up through Friday, January 2nd, 2015. Spots are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis, so interested runners should register as soon as possible.

What is the Broad Street Run?
In case you're not familiar with the Broad Street Run<http://www.broadstreetrun.com/>, it is the nation's largest 10-mile run that signals the start of spring in Philadelphia for over 30,000 runners annually. The course spans 10 miles on Broad Street from the Albert Einstein Medical Center in North Philadelphia to the Navy Yard in South Philadelphia. It is a great experience that attracts tens of thousands of participants and spectators.

Why you should run with the Accenture team?
The Broad Street Run has experienced record turnout in recent years. Similar to last year, the race will conduct a lottery in early February that will determine participants for the Sunday, May 3rd, 2015 event. In 2014, the Broad Street Run had to turn away 1/3 of the lottery registrants with an even greater demand expected this coming year!

If you want to guarantee your spot and bypass the lottery process, you can register with the Accenture team by Friday, January 2nd, 2015.  In return, the Accenture team runs to raise money for Back on My Feet<http://www.backonmyfeet.org/>. By registering with our team, you are committing to raise at least $500 for a good cause. We will provide you with all the necessary fundraising tips and tools as well as a training schedule to get you ready for the race. The Accenture team provides you an opportunity to meet up with fellow runners at team Happy Hours and events, as well as compete with them in fundraising contests, where you will get the chance to win prizes!
