The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation is joining the ranks of charities that use running events as fund-raisers. The group has chosen to recruit and train a group to participate in the Las Vegas Rock and  Roll Half-Marathon on December 6.

Training for the Team Challenge is scheduled to start in August. The group appears to follow fund-raising and training schedules similar to other large charities, such as Team in Training for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation for its century bicycle rides.
