26.4.26

Everyone is aware of the the school shooting last Friday in Connecticut, where six adults and twenty kids tragically lost their lives.  Even though Connecticut is quite a distance away, there's something Middle Tennessee runners/walkers/triathletes/anyone can do to help the victims and their families. 

 

This Saturday, at Nashville Running Company, Robbie Bruce from X3 Endurance will be organizing a run called 26.4.26.  The event takes place at 8am and consists of a 6.5 mile loop, where participants can get in 6.5/13/19.5/26 miles.  They are also encouraged to bring a minimum of $1 per completed mile, all of which will be donated to the families of the victims.  If you aren't able to log any miles, they still need plenty of volunteers.  There will be a volunteer meeting tonight at 6:30pm at Nashville Running Company.
