Taking Place from September 26 through September 29, LoCo Motion is a fitness challenge for a good cause.
PRLog - Sep. 27, 2013 - HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. -- Hilton Head Volkswagen, one of the Lowcountry’s top auto dealerships, is pleased to be sponsoring LoCo Motion 2013. It’s a fitness challenge, it’s a party, it’s for a fantastic cause, and it’s happening this weekend, from Friday, September 26 through Sunday, September 29.
LoCo Motion 2013 is a combination of three 10-mile courses over the course of the weekend. Participants are welcome to run or walk — either way, those who attend will be treated to a scenic tour of the South Carolina coast, getting an up-close look at the beauty of the Lowcountry. Each course has pit stops and cheering stations to keep participants going — and with after-parties and prizes throughout the weekend, there’s a great deal of fun to be had even outside of the main event.
All proceeds from the event will support the Carolina Cups. The Carolina Cups is a nonprofit with the mission of funding breast cancer education, screening, treatment, and research. The group was founded in 2009 after Laura Morgan, owner and proprietor of LoCo Boot Camp, participated in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day in Tampa with some of her friends — the friends formed the Carolina Cups after enduring the 60 mile of the 3-Day, which eventually led to the beginning of LoCo Motion.
LoCo Motion was created specifically to raise money for the Carolina Cups and to do more to spread awareness about breast cancer. The goal of LoCo Motion is to be challenging for athletes while being accessible for everyone who wants to participate. To that end, the distance is half that of the Susan G. Komen 3-Day and is also open to those who would prefer to walk. Southern charm and ample after-parties — including a Pub Crawl and Happy Hours — solidify the festive atmosphere cultivated by the event.
The first LoCo Motion was held in September of 2011 with a few hundred participants — with participation having grown tremendously, registration is now capped at 1,500. With the event beginning on Friday, September 29, registration is now closed — but there will be plenty of room for all comers at the cheering stations and after-parties!
“We’re excited to be participating in LoCo Motion for the second year in a row,” said Warner Peacock, President & CEO of New River Auto Mall. “We love showing off our pink VW Beetle, and it’s all for a great cause.”
