40 days until RACE DAY!!

Did you see the awesome announcement that JEFF GALLOWAY is coming to this race?!

“Olympian and author Jeff Galloway is founder of the “run-walk-run” training method that has helped open running to millions of people. A U.S. Olympian and the former U.S. 10-mile record holder, he authored North America’s best-selling running book, and was a monthly columnist for Runner’s World magazine for 21 years.”

I personally found him online years ago when I started running and researching Disney races (its on my bucket list!). I personally use the walk/run method to help me train and run races.

Jeff Galloway will be in town Friday-Sunday at various events over the race weekend! See below:
