Good Afternoon Everyone!
We hope this message finds you well! We are so excited to be in Vegas and looking forward to seeing everyone here celebrating 38 Years of Arbonne!
We want to start by thanking you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and participation in the Run for Pure Love 2018! With your help, we raised just over $10,000 for the Excel Beyond Scholarship Program! This is so exciting!
We wanted to share with you some IMPORTANT DETAILS about the Run, so please read on.
To keep all costs low so as much goes to the fundraising, we are a bit of a "pop-up" shop style in terms of our registration and run details! We don't have the financial capacity to make arrangements/contracts/etc with the MGM so we don't have an actual conference room to do shirt pick up in. We hope that this will bring your understanding with our run ex*****on and tank pickup.
Also, keep in mind this is a Fun Run/walk so you don't need to feel any pressure to run the course, take it at your own pace. Therefore, know that we use the term "run" loosely. Besides, you might be up all night playing with your new product so feel free to take it at whatever pace your bedtime Thursday night permits! Haha!
We also know that it’s an extremely busy schedule at GTC so we want to accommodate that in the shirt pick up details as well.
SHIRT PICK UP
YOU WILL PICK THEM UP HERE IN VEGAS tomorrow morning before the run. Keep in mind if you are a last minute registrant - your registration does not include a shirt.
To truly "keep this simple" for Friday morning, it's really key that you help us out in this process by reading this carefully.
Registration - 5:15 A.M. - 5:45 A.M.
Run will start at 6 a.m.!
When you pickup your shirt, we will have the shirts SORTED BY SIZE. Please note the signage and stand in the appropriate line.
If you do not recall which size you chose, it will show on your run receipt.
You can find it in your Order Summary on your Receipt, with the size in Brackets.
Please show either a paper copy or digital (phone) copy of your receipt when you pick your shirt up.
NO RECEIPT/TICKET or ID - NO TANK.
TIP: Wear a fitted tank or running top that you can easily slip your run tank over top of. The tanks are white, you will want to layer something under them!
If you are a Last Minute Run Registrant, if you would kindly avoid the line up area while shirts are being dispersed, that would be great. If you registered last minute and did not purchase a shirt, there is no need to do any shirt pick up of any kind. Simply be there ready to go at 5:45 am.
We have some "Speak Life" popsockets available also, so bring some cash if you'd like one!!!
LAST MINUTE REGISTRATION RUN PARTICIPANTS
Should there be tank tops remaining unclaimed after the run, we will be selling them on the spot. Please bring $20 CASH ONLY (we will not be able to make change, so exact cash is requested) and if we have your size you can grab a tank.
RUN DETAILS:
As in years past, we will meet and start the run from the same location. The run course will take you down the MGM side of the strip, over the pedestrian walkway near Caesars Palace and the finish is on the bridge at NYNY. This is just under 5K.
OUR LEAD RUNNER IS KEYNOTE SPEAKER MIRANDA BURCHAM!!!
Thank you Miranda for your commitment and heart for our our cause. We love you!
MEETING POINT
Shirt pickup and gathering place for the run will be in the MGM Grand by the huge staircase close-by to the Rainforest Cafe & Centrifuge.
There is also a Starbucks close-by so throw a $10 bill in your hidden pocket for your post run coffee stop!
Note that there are no water stations provided along the way, so be sure to bring a small bottle if you feel you'll need it.
NO-SHOW Participants
We know that the bright lights of Vegas can be hard on the eagerness towards early mornings, so please trust us when we say that you will have so much fun seeing the strip in the early morning! We must make sure to let you know that should you decide to forego the run you will also forfeit your tank. You can have a friend pick it up for you if they have your proof of registration, but Friday morning during the designated hours will be the only opportunity for you or someone else to pick up your shirt. No shirts will be mailed post GTC or delivered via meet up around the MGM.
We really appreciate your understanding in this! We trust you will all be there with us bright and early so we know this is a non-issue but needed to mention it anyhow!

SOCIAL MEDIA
If you bring your phone and take pics for social media please tag our "Building Kingdom House" page and be sure to use the hashtag so we can show everyone how much fun it was!
Most of all, we are so excited to have over 250 participants!! Every year it keeps getting bigger and bigger and we LOVE seeing all of the repeat participants and newbies alike!
This "Run for Pure Love" of 2018 is all about the orphans of Zambia and giving them the opportunity for an education they never dreamed they would have! Please know that you are a significant part of helping us make this happen for these children and that your "footprints" down the Las Vegas strip are leaving a lasting footprint in the minds and hearts of those on the receiving end of your participation.
Have fun at the product launch! We can't wait to see you Friday morning!
