When I’m not repairing furnaces or installing new HVAC systems, I love to run and exercise. I share my running experiences with an athlete community on Twitter. I was introduced to a runner from California that happens to be a K-State grad. His name is Sam Felsenfeld. You can read his story here.
To commemorate Sam completing 61 marathons, athletes across the country are running 6.1 miles on 12/26/10. We are holding our satellite run at Louisville’s Waterfront Park. The run will start at 300 p.m. at the Big Four Bridge parking lot on the Kentucky side of the river. We’ll run downtown, cross the bridge and return.
Will you join us? This is a fun run! We aren’t racing. So, please don’t think you have to be speedy to come hang with us. Registration is available online here. Your $25 donation will go toward autism research via Train4Autism. You can also create a fundraising page and get your friends to donate $30. Then you can run for free. Hey, that’s a great idea. I should have thought of that! Good plan, Sam!
If you aren’t in the Louisville area, you can still run 6.1 miles in Sam and Jack’s honor. Just register and let Sam know where you’ll be doing your run.
Thanks for your support! Let’s get out there and fight autism!
