Looking for a fitness challenge that also supports a good cause? Renegade Virtual Run & 20-20 Obstacle Challenge

Calling all runners, fitness enthusiasts and walkers looking for a unique fitness challenge! Registration is now open for the Renegade Virtual Run, a four-mile race with a special 20-20 obstacle challenge.

Over the last eight years, Type One has held the popular Renegade Run Obstacle Course Race in Hingham’s Wompatuck State Park and Bare Cove Park to support diabetes research and a cure. This year, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing, a four-mile Renegade Virtual Run, which includes 20 challenging “obstacles,” will be held September 12-27, 2020. 

Anytime, Anyplace – How It Works

Participants complete a four-mile run, jog or walk, along with the series of 20 challenging exercises or “obstacles” on their own. Participants can map their own outdoor four-mile route or run/walk the route indoors on a treadmill. For local runners, Type One offers the option of charted four-mile routes through local parks – which is the closest thing to Renegade Run’s traditional race. Simply choose the starting time and Type One will send a trail map to run.

20 Challenging “Obstacles” 

In previous years, the traditional Renegade Run Obstacle Course Race featured four miles of paved trails and wooded terrain with more than 30 obstacles such as monkey bars to cross, walls and cargo nets to climb, and tunnels to crawl through. With this year’s Renegade Virtual Run, a 

20-20 challenge is presented: 20 obstacles with 20 reps each. These obstacles can be done at any time throughout the course. The obstacles are all bodyweight exercises that use an individual’s own weight to provide resistance against gravity, such as pushing, pulling, squatting, bending, twisting and balancing. The list of exercises is provided to registrants via their confirmation email.

Participants use any tracking method (GPS device/watch, tracking website or app, or treadmill reading), to track their run and record proof for submission. Once the race and obstacles are completed, participants share their time, photos and videos with Type One on social media or by email.

Type One’s Paul Foti commented, “We’re not going to sugarcoat it, so to speak. The 20 ‘obstacles’ with 20 reps may be quite challenging for many participants. The obstacles are part of the attraction of our traditional Renegade Run and what really sets it apart and makes it so popular.”

Renegade Virtual Run supports the Type One Cares campaign, a charity that is making significant strides to support individuals living with type 1 diabetes, while continuing to fund

research at the Faustman Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). To date, the Renegade Run has over one hundred thousand dollars to support the Faustman Lab which is focused on discovering and developing new treatments for type 1 diabetes, a vaccine for the reversal of long-term type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.

Foti continued, “We invite runners and walkers from New England and beyond to participate. The purpose of our Renegade Virtual Run is to have fun, stay motivated and to connect with each other as we continue to raise awareness and funds toward a cure for type 1 diabetes.”

Friends, families and co-workers have the option to form Virtual Teams as they complete the online registration process. There will be free tech t-shirts and finisher medals for those who complete the race, a commemorative bib, as well as opportunities to win prizes.

Popular Obstacle Course Race Supporting Type 1 Diabetes Research Pivots to Virtual 4-Mile Run/Walk

Raise awareness and funds for research and a cure for type 1 diabetes from anywhere in the world! Type One of Hingham, MA announces “Renegade Virtual Run” will be held September 12-27, 2020.

For the past eight years, Type One has held their annual Renegade Run Obstacle Course Race to support diabetes research and a cure at Hingham’s Wompatuck State Park and Bare Cove Park. But this year, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Type One has pivoted to a virtual four-mile run/walk – the Renegade Virtual Run – which can be completed anytime, anywhere over the 16-day period.

Renegade Virtual Run supports the Type One Cares campaign, a charity that is making significant strides to support individuals living with type 1 diabetes, while continuing to fund research at the Faustman Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). To date, the Renegade Run has generated over one hundred thousand dollars to support the Faustman Lab which is focused on discovering and developing new treatments for type 1 diabetes, a vaccine for the reversal of long-term type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.

“Type 1 diabetes doesn’t just involve the person living with the disease, it involves their entire family and support system,” explained Type One’s Paul Foti, “We are proud to create an event that provides our community with hope, with an outlet to come together virtually to raise awareness and funds toward a cure for type 1 diabetes and to assist those living with the disease.”

How It Works

Individuals complete a four-mile run, jog or walk, along with a series of 20 challenging bodyweight exercises or “obstacles”. Since the race is virtual, participants can participate from anywhere in the world and map their own outdoor course or choose to run/walk the four-miles indoors on a treadmill. For local runners, Type One offers the option of charted four-mile routes through local parks – and the closest thing to Renegade Run’s traditional race. Simply choose the starting time and Type One will send the trail map to run.

Use any tracking method (GPS device/watch, tracking website or app, or treadmill reading), to track your run and record proof for submission. Once the race (including obstacles) is completed, participants share their time, photos and videos with Type One on social media or by email.

Virtual Teams

Friends, families and co-workers have the option to form Virtual Teams, which provides additional motivation to register and complete the obstacle race. To do so, begin the online registration process and you will be given an option to either form a team or join one that is already created.

T-shirts, Medals & Bibs

There will be free tech t-shirts and finisher medals shipped directly to those who complete the race along with a commemorative bib (to be printed out by registrant).

Prizes

Participants post their time with a photo or a video sharing their Renegade Virtual Run experience on social media. The runner with the most likes to their post will win $100! Must be verified.

What are those divider shields made of?

Steve Wilson

You have seen them at the supermarket, the drug store and many other retail outlets. The clear divider/shield. You will probably see them in your office as part of the new normal—along with our old friend the cubicle. But did you know these shields, depending on the make, could be far more lethal than Covid?

That’s not to say these shields carry a virus. But if it’s made of a combustible material, acrylic as an example, it may not be up to the fire code with your local municipalities. And that’s something you better check out before making a purchase or installing.

That little tidbit was courtesy of Steve Wilson of Office Furniture Consulting. He will be one of the two featured presenters on the upcoming complimentary webinar, “Returning to the new workplace. What to expect. How to stay safe.” on Wednesday, July 29 at 12 noon EDT. Jay Nuss Realty Group is the other presenter. Steve Dubin of PR Works will moderate the panel.

Wilson founded Office Furniture Consulting in 1990. It is a multi-featured company providing space planning, quote specification development, ergonomic research, relocation services, and office furniture procurement.

Nuss has more than 30 years of experience in all facets of commercial real estate brokerage with special emphasis on the selling and leasing of office, industrial, and mixed-use properties in the Greater Boston Area.

Emerson Bearing Boston expands line of Plastic bearings.

Superior performance make them an ideal choice in food processing machinery, agricultural machinery, pumps, valves

Emerson Bearing Boston, a bearing company catering to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) markets around the world, has expanded their bearing line with innovative plastic bearings.

Plastic bearings, otherwise known as self-lubricating plastic bushings or thermoplastic plain bearings, have the same dimensions as bronze bushings and are now being used in more “dirty” applications with greater success. They are resistant to dust, dirt, water and chemicals, have a high load capacity, and are maintenance-free –making them the ideal choice in food processing machinery, agricultural machinery, pumps and valves and other applications. 

Typically, oil-impregnated bronze bearings have a film of lubricant which must remain consistent to ensure optimal performance. On the other hand, plastic bearings which are made from a thermoplastic alloy and fiber matrix, are comprised of tiny chambers which hold the lubricant, enough of which is released during movement. Yet, plastic bearings are dry-running and deflect dirt. 

Best of all, the service life of plastic bearings can be calculated (as they have a predictable wear rate) utilizing newer software programs. 

Emerson Bearing’s plastic bearing line includes top brand Igus.

“In the past, our focus was on oilite, bronze and casting bronze bushings, but today, we largely recommend plastic bearings by Igus, a company based in East Providence, Rhode Island,” explained Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing Boston. “Not only is the performance of plastic bearings better, customers will benefit from the significant cost savings.”

Vigil for George Floyd to be held June 13th at Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield athletic field

On Tuesday, the funeral service honoring the life of George Floyd, a father, brother, son and friend to many, was held in Houston. In memory of George Floyd, a vigil will be held at the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield athletic field on Saturday, June 13, 2020 from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. 

This peaceful gathering, organized by Sabrina Holland of Marshfield and her team of volunteers, was originally scheduled for June 5th at Harbor Park but postponed based on safety recommendations of Police Chief Tavares. The Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield was then approached to host the event, as the athletic field better accommodates a large number of people and parking is available.

The Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield condemns any act of racism or discrimination. We are proud to be hosting the vigil as it fits in with the Boys & Girls Club mission. We advocate for all youth to have the same opportunities and encourage young people to utilize and focus the power of their voice. We believe it is critical to speak up and take action. As a nation, we can and must demand change to support black people and anyone who faces systemic prejudices. Together, we must listen and take action to ensure the future is great for the youth that are counting on us.

The pain we are feeling, as a nation, as a Movement and as individuals, is real. It is not simply a reaction to the news of the past weeks. We are experiencing a moment of profound reflection on what equality and justice really mean, and how far we still need to go. 

According to Jim Bunnell, CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield, “As we honor George Floyd in this peaceful vigil, we hope to deliver a positive and constructive message, and continue to build a community that works together and treats each other with respect and equality.”

In light of COVID-19, social distancing must be observed and face coverings are required.
