Monday evening we presented Heroes Outreach Program with a $3500 donation from the proceeds of The Great American 5k. We also joined in for trivia night. Trivia was not as big of a success as the race!

The laughs, the “oh my god” moments, the friends who turn miles into memories — that’s the good stuff. 😃

Everyone who crosses this finish line has a reason. Here’s theirs. 💙

Brandon and Lindsey ran the Great American 5K with their sons Deklan and Shepherd cheering them on — and with their daughter Gracie right there with them in spirit.

Just 3 months postpartum and 3 months since losing Gracie, Lindsey said that midway through the course, when it got hard, she could feel her daughter’s motivation pushing her forward.

This family isn’t stopping at one race — they’re planning to run every 5K this year together, in her honor.

Some run for fitness. Some run for fun. Some run to carry someone they love with them, every single step. Whatever brought you to a starting line, you belong here.
