Newton, MA -- The Arthritis Foundation's Joints in Motion program is 
recruiting runners to participate in the 2010 New York City Marathon. This 
race is now closed to regular participants and entries can only be obtained 
through a charity program like Joints in Motion.  In exchange for entry, 
training, and race gear, participants are asked to raise funds to support 
the Arthritis Foundation.  

Joints in Motion is a team of philanthropic athletes participating in road 
racing, walks, triathlon, hiking, and other sports.  Participants in the 
Joints in Motion program work with one of the area's best coaches, Duncan 
Warden, who personalizes training programs for each athlete to run or walk 
the event of their choice.  Joints in Motion athletes raise awareness and 
funds to support the 46 million men, women and children living with the 
challenge of Arthritis.  Proceeds from the Joints in Motion program support 
arthritis research and community programs and services.
