jedimaster Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Well, it has been a long road so far having to have dealt with lawyers, accountants, advertisers, marketers, sponsors, charities, the guberment, copyright info and so on and so fourth. The official Launch is here. Some of you may have recall hearing bits and pieces of this, but I'll give you a quick run down. I decided that it was time to take a few of my passions and try and take a run at living the dream. My dream has always been to run a non profit youth camp where city kids can get a chance to experience the outdoors the way you and I do. Under the stars, on the lakes and in the woods. I am striving to fund this camp by running a series of adventure style races. The premier event is called Grudge Run. A 150 km 48 hour endurance race. Now I'll leave out all the nity gritty as they can be found on the website as well on the promo video... Yah thats right I even filmed, edited and directed a video, full of copyright and royalty free goodies. Yep I even have model waivers. haha. Anyway here is the link the website... www.grudgerun.com To our facebook page www.facebook.com/grudgerun As for the company itself we are registered as a for profit company but on the advice of the bean counters this is only setup as a shell for liability reasons to help protect the non profit company we are setting up to run the camp. And the long awaited Promo video... Turn your speakers on.. It took me ages to find legally free audio for the tracks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSLWioODTz0 and the link to share for the video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSLWioODTz0 Edited October 11, 2012 by jedimaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Clemens Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Man, that sounds great. All the best on your endeavors. Great to see folks who take a vested interest in the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbouck Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 You should add a heavyweight division Good luck with everything, it looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Very nice video. Great job man! I will spread the word around these parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks guys, even if people just check out the video it will all help as the revenue from the video will be used as a funding source to help advertise. Trying to run this on as close to zero budget as possible, and see where it can go. Any word of mouth the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Very cool. I would strongly consider signing up for this except I can't really think of any friends who would be able to keep up with me for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 There are a few people that have said the same thing. Go on the Facebook site and make a post that you are looking for a partner. There is a girl, that was in the video and she is a big time marathoner. She is looking for a partner.

Nipfisher Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Does the girl on the tread mill need a partner? I can handle a tread mill (for a couple minutes). I watched 1:27 - 1:29 of the video twice . This is a great idea and I'm sure it will be a success. Kudos to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipfisher Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 You should add a heavyweight division Good luck with everything, it looks awesome! How about a wing eating contest Dan? We can throw in some coin and split the pot 50/50 with the camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 HaHa, I'll mention it to her that you are looking for a partner about the same weight of wings you can eat. I am sure she will be so happy. haha I was thinking of also doing a Winter Blast race, and might even do a wing eating contest. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttahhan Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hey.....It looks Professional and well developed i believe you got something here ... Very Interested in participating in the event, Your Video Looks Awesome....I will share this on Various Websites if you so authorize.....

jedimaster Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 HaHa, to be honest I was a bit flustered when I was asking her to cover herself in oil and spray some water on her for the shot so she looked sweaty. err but lets not get into that. And to anyone that wants to help out by sharing the video and or the website on any site they want, please do so. We are relying almost entirely on word of mouth. I do have money put asside for some adwords and such but word of mouth is going to be key for this to be a success. Facebook, Twitter, other forums, emails to friends, co-workers etc... are totally fine. I am trying to get permision to post on some LEO forums and some army forums as I am sure they would also be interested in the event. Especially given that its a non profit venture.
