The love. 💗
This is difficult to write. Normally we would be welcoming Jill Phillips to one of our ultra distance events at . She was a passionate runner, advocate for our kids, and a revered volunteer and host of . She was steadfast, determined, kind, thoughtful, and beyond dedicated to those she loved.
We lost our beloved Jill in December, and her absence at run4kids will be felt deeply by all. This year we will not be able to run with Jill, but we will be able to run FOR her.
Welcome, TEAM JILL, to Run4Kids 2026. May the miles you run next weekend celebrate her life and the love, enthusiasm, joy, and reverence she had for her little runners, her friends, and her magnificent family.
What a gift Jill is to all of us. 🩷
We can’t wait to award an honorary buckle on behalf of Jill to your team when you all cross that magical 100th mile. 🏅
It will be the greatest honor to have you all here. No doubt Jill will be running with us in spirit. ✨
