🌹 Thank You 🌹
What a night.
We watched elite athletes battle for wins, families run and walk together, kids cross finish lines with huge smiles, and so many people take steps toward goals much bigger than a single race.
What stood out most wasn’t who won or who ran the fastest. It was watching an entire community cheer, encourage, and celebrate one another. Whether someone finished first or last, they were met with the same support and excitement.
This year, 752 participants took part in the SoMa Main Street Mile, with what seemed like nearly 1,500 people lining Main Street to cheer them on. Just a few short years ago, our inaugural event welcomed 248 participants. To see this event grow by more than 200% speaks to the impact being made.
Our vision has always been to create a place where everyone belongs. A community that celebrates health, happiness, movement, and connection. A place where elite athletes can race at a high level and where someone can take their very first step toward a healthier tomorrow. And we all are blessed to have the opportunity to cheer for each other!
To every runner, walker, volunteer, spectator, sponsor, vendor, business owner, public safety officer, city official, running club, and supporter who made this event possible: thank you!
From all of us at Blue Rose Running, thank you for believing in this vision and helping us build something special!
Keep moving.
Keep supporting one another.
Keep showing up.
Keep being a part of this wonderful community.
Because together, we’re building something special.
