For the first 25 years of the Celtic Solstice 5 Miler, we had the pleasure of working with artist Cari Buziak. Cari has become one of the foremost artists of the Celtic art genre. Her work has been featured in design magazines and she has had gallery exhibitions in Calgary, Toronto, Indiana, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, Japan, London, and New York. Cari has sold worldwide, and her artwork appears in private collections in Canada, Europe, Japan, and the United States.  Following the 2025 event, Cari has decided to dedicate her time to focusing on other projects.  We apprecitate all of Cari's work and we will cherish the logos she created for us.

With that, we have the distinct pleasure of inviting Ben Rees into the Celtic Solstice family.  Ben is a native of Rhode Island and recently graduated from The Catholic University of America with a Biology degree and currently attends Johns Hopkins University seeking his Master's degree.  He lives in the area and is set to be married in Baltmore in 2026.  He recently completed is first half-marathon and now has the running bug!  He is an amateur artist but turns out professional work.  We are thrilled to have Ben as part of the team and look forward to seeing hid designs for years to come.
