Become a member of the Joints in Motion Marathon Training Team, benefiting the Arthritis Foundation, SE Region/Georgia Chapter.  This program supports raising funds and awareness to fight arthritis, the nation's number one cause of disability.  It includes your training to run or walk a marathon or half marathon in one of our exciting JIM team marathon destinations.  Together we will help improve the quality of life for millions of men, women and children with so many forms of disabling arthritis.   

                                      Walk or Run a  Marathon



Marathon training with Get Fit Atlanta is included in the Joints in Motion Marathon Team Program.   Training is designed to guide participants of all ages, 18 and above, with various fitness levels, through an extensive training program to complete a marathon or half marathon.  Virtual training is also available for those needing to train on their own schedules.

                                 Travel to exciting Destinations



2010 Reggae Marathon & Half – Negril, Jamaica -  December 4, 2010
2011 Georgia Marathon & Half – Atlanta, GA – March 20, 2011 


Once you have reached your fund-raising goal and completed your training, you will travel to one of the exciting locations selected such as the  Reggae Marathon & Half – Negril, Jamaica on December 4, 2010.   You will receive roundtrip airfare, 4 night hotel accommodations with food & beverage included, local transportation, and race entry fee and JIM running gear. Once you arrive at the destination, you will also enjoy a team pasta dinner, celebration party and, perhaps most importantly, the company of fellow team members equally committed to this cause and reaching that finish line.


                       Help raise funds to prevent, control, and cure arthritis.

Each team member will have a personal web page on the Arthritis Foundation – Joints in Motion website to assist with fundraising.  You’ll also have continuous support from staff.
