I have to laugh a little...

I turned 61.
I planned to give away 6 race entries.
And exactly 6 people entered. 😄

So congratulations to our winners:

🥧 Jan-Al Robinson
🥧 Debbie Wetrich Snider
🥧 Shannon Huseby
🥧 Carrie Schaefer
🥧 Cheryl Lubbers
🥧 Kelly Boprie

Sometimes things work out exactly as they're supposed to.

But since I love birthdays so much, I don't think one day of celebrating is enough 🎉

To keep the birthday fun going, I'm offering $5 off registration for the next two weeks.

Use code: BIRTHDAY5

Whether you've run with us before or have been thinking about joining us for the first time, I'd love to have you be part of this year's race.

Thank you for celebrating with me and for being part of this wonderful community. I can't wait to see what we build together this year 💛

What are your run plans for the long weekend? What races are you doing? I would love to know!
Long run?

One of the things that makes this race meaningful to me is where the impact goes.
Servants Center walks alongside people in some of life’s hardest seasons—with consistency, compassion, and care. Many of the individuals they serve have also served our country, which makes that support even more meaningful.
When you show up to this race, you are part of that.
And that matters more than you might realize 💛

One of the things that has always amazed me about this race is how many people have stepped in and said, “I want to be part of this.”

Sponsors have played such a big role in helping this race grow.

If you own a business—or know someone who does—and want to be part of something meaningful, I’d love to connect 💛
