Legal Services NYC Pro Bono Fun Run

Saturday, June 12 | VIRTUAL
10:00am
 
The sixth annual LSNYC Pro Bono Fun Run will be held June 12, and is now entirely virtual! Participants will be encouraged to do fun and simple activities in the week leading up to race day, when everyone will run or walk their own 5K in their neighborhoods. 
 
The Fun Run is organized by LSNYC's Pro Bono Associate Advisory Board, a group of associates from many of New York City's largest law firms who are committed to pro bono service. Advisory Board members provide strategic advice to LSNYC's pro bono program, generate support for pro bono projects at law firms, and work to further the mission of LSNYC.

FRIDAY 6/11 ACTIVITIES
Warm Up Run: Get outside and run a mile. Or get your kids involved by chasing them around the couch – or the block. You could even play fetch with your pup!
Make a Smoothie: Use our favorite recipe: 2 cups of fruit, 1 banana, 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of ice (if fruits or banana are not frozen). Optionally add in: greens, protein powder, and/or honey. 

THURSDAY 6/10 ACTIVITIES
Barrister Burpees: Do a burpee for each year you’ve been practicing law.  (Law school counts!)

Stretching: What’s a workout without stretching? Reach up high and bend down low and stretch out your muscles to get ready.
