MI folks, support a great event!

The @freepmarathon is in need of volunteers. This is a great way to help keep this Michigan tradition going strong.  Organizers are looking for volunteers to help as course monitors or at relay exchange stations, gear check and the start line! More info: https://t.co/nHz2quEoZB

This year we are partnering with Hiccup, a reusable cup service. Look out for the blue silicone cups at the Mile 9 water station but remember DO NOT take the cup with you. After each race, Hiccup collects and sanitizes all used cups to prepare them for future races #gmas22

@EarlyPod @CEM_MikeNishi @michaelclemons @CouncilForSport I’ve struck out researching textile recycling options for the ribbons thus far. Would love to see an industry move toward a medal ribbon that could be repurposed more easily!

[Greg Haapala @ghaapala]

@EarlyPod @CEM_MikeNishi @michaelclemons @CouncilForSport Also scrap recycle our leftover medals locally. Ribbons are tough but we’ve donated to art supply/scrap stores, and some Medals4Mettle chapters re-sew ribbons into gifts for patients they serve.

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Month!
Thank You to all those who make Grandma's Marathon possible by volunteering. One month doesn't seem like enough to thank them for all that they do. #Gmas22 #grandmasmarathon

Just prior to this interview Jack ran in (I believe) the age 11-14 heat while wearing snow boots and he is now my all-around hero. #youngathletesfoundation

[WDIO News @wdiowirt]

BEST INTERVIEW EVER! Jack the superstar gives one of the funniest post race interviews of all time after running at UMD for Saturday Morning at the Races. He's got the confidence of a true all-star!
