Northeast Team Beef

Northeast Team Beef Invites Runners to Join Run for the Ribeye 10K
 

The Northeast Team Beef is made up of more than 40 athletes and fitness enthusiasts from across the Northeast region. They are a diverse community of runners, triathletes, farmers, moms, dads, college students and professionals that rely upon the health benefits of beef to fuel their healthy and active lifestyles. When they complete an endurance event in their Team Beef jersey, they feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Even better, they also feel a sense of community that pushes them to become stronger. 

We’re proud to introduce a few of the members - Joy in Connecticut is a dairy farmer; Nick in Virginia is a police officer; Carole in New Jersey is a physician assistant; Amanda in Virginia is studying to become a veterinarian; and Maggie in New York is a cheese scientist. Beef fuels their busy careers and academic pursuits and it also fuels their recreational activities. The Northeast Team Beef members also regularly participate in endurance activities. For many of them, that means road or trail running.  Members on the team range from walk-joggers to elite marathoners. For others, that also means hiking, biking, playing volleyball, competing in Brazilian Jujitsu or teaching yoga.   

No athlete wants to be sidelined because they aren’t in the best shape. And, Northeast Team Beef members don’t want to sit on the sidelines in life. The members know first-hand how beef helps their bodies build and maintain muscle mass and recover after long endurance activities.

Now it’s your turn! From May 22-29, you can join us by participating in a 10K (6.2 mile) virtual walk or run. When you lace up your shoes and hit the trails or pavement, you will be doing so in support of Feeding America Food Banks across the Northeast region. Register today for the Run for the Ribeye 10K. Your registration fees will be contributed to Feed America Food Banks across the region to help provide nutritious beef to those in need. All participants will receive a race packet valued at more than $40. Putting your strength behind nutrition and health makes a powerful impact in the community. Every registered racer has even more to gain with exciting prize drawings to cheer you along the way.
