4.01K Race for Financial Fitness Expands Nationally, Kicks off 4/1/17
4.01K Race for Financial Fitness Expands Nationally, Kicks off 4/1/17

Orlando, Florida (PRWEB) March 08, 2017 -- What started as a local road race in Orlando to raise awareness and money for Junior Achievement, has grown into a national event supported by best-selling author and award-winning financial journalist, Jean Chatzky, as well top-rated financial services firms across the country.

It's an event that brings together two of my passions: running and empowering people to take control of their financial futures. I hope you'll join me in a city near you! —Jean Chatzky, National Financial Head Coach

Post this

Chatzky is the 4.01K Race for Financial Fitness National Financial Head Coach for 2017. As Head Coach, she will provide financial tips leading up to the race through the website - 401krace.com and social media. She will also participate in race events in Orlando. Race participants will also have the opportunity to receive signed copies of Chatzky’s brand new book, AgeProof: Living Longer Without Running Out of Money or Breaking a Hip.

"I'm thrilled to be the Financial Head Coach for this year's 4.01k Race for Financial Fitness,” said Chatzky. “It's an event that brings together two of my passions: running and empowering people to take control of their financial futures. I hope you'll join me on April 1st or April 7th in racing for good financial health (and a great cause, Junior Achievement) in a city near you!"

The 4.01K race, now in its third year, will take place in Orlando, Minneapolis, Kansas City, San Diego, Nashville, Charlotte and Detroit, raising money for the local programs of Junior Achievement, a non-profit organization that provides financial literacy education to students in grades K-12. In most markets, the race will be held on April 1st (4/01), with a length of 4.01 kilometers (about 2.5 miles).

The 4.01K Race for Financial Fitness was first envisioned and created by Jason Chepenik, managing partner at Chepenik Financial. Chepenik always believed in a correlation between financial fitness and physical fitness and decided in 2013 that a race would be the perfect vehicle to highlight the need for both, while supporting financial education for students.

“Most people know how important planning and saving are, but they don’t always know how to start. Working with Junior Achievement, we can educate students at an early age so they’re prepared before they even leave for college,” said Chepenik.

Last year the 4.01K race raised more than $75,000 dollars for Junior Achievement of Central Florida and the Junior Achievement chapter in Minneapolis.

Race sponsors include BlackRock, American Century Investments, Mass Mutual, Nationwide and more.
