What Inspires Us
We get many emails and letters from participants. The most inspiring are from those who have an experience at our event that has a lasting impact on their lives far beyond race day. We are amazed by the variety of things that inspire people to run, walk, or do whatever they love to stay active and fit. From the great achievements of elite runners to the people who have to work to get a few hours of walking in their weekly schedules; it's the dedication to being active that matters.
