As Race Director, it’s an honor to help bring this day to life alongside an incredible team, dedicated volunteers, and passionate participants like you. Every step taken on this course supports Wendell Foster’s mission to empower people with disabilities to live meaningful, independent lives—and that purpose is felt in every cheer, every mile marker, and every finish-line moment.

Our hope is that you leave race day feeling proud, inspired, and connected—not just to the event, but to the impact you helped create. Thank you for choosing to run, walk, roll, volunteer, or cheer with us. You truly make a difference.

We can’t wait to see you at the starting line.

With gratitude,
Kara
