🎉 Congratulations to our 2026 San Juan Solstice Volunteer of the Year: Martha Reinhardt! 🎉

For the past 16 years, Martha has been an incredible part of the San Juan Solstice family. As a member of our Board of Directors, she has worn countless hats and has been instrumental in making race weekend a success.

From marking the course and organizing all of the aid station food to making her famous homemade soups and infamous seven-layer bars, captaining multiple aid stations, and selling merchandise throughout race weekend—Martha does it all.

And she’s not just a volunteer—she’s also a five-time San Juan Solstice finisher! Her passion for the race has inspired the next generation, with both of her children completing the race as well. We can also add crew captain and pacer to her impressive résumé.

Please join us in thanking .r.levine for her years of dedication, generosity, and unwavering commitment to the San Juan Solstice. We truly couldn’t do it without you, Martha! ❤️🏔️
