This event is the inaugural charity run event for our recent amputee and former Ironman friend, Nate Wigdahl. This is not a serious, hard-core, Boston qualifying event. If you can’t have fun at this run, then it’s not meant for you. This event is meant to support our friend along with other amputees, in the hopes that they may find their passion for fitness again.

The monies raised from this run will go towards the purchase of a running blade, so that our rockstar friend Nate can get back on the race scene. In fact, each year as we grow, we will choose other amputees in which to help financially.

Know an amputee? Or are you one yourself? Are you looking for something to get you motivated? Then this day is for you.
