💬 Participant Testimonials

Nice Words from last year: I wanted to tell you what a fantastic job you did with this event. I've run it in previous years when I was a runner and did complete the Triple Crown the first year it was implemented. The whole atmosphere and ambiance, even though yes it was hotter than hell, was fun and positive. This year I walked it with my coworkers from the NICU at TMC to commemorate Dr. Elliot who was very dear to us. Thank you for all the hard work you do for the community - it is certainly appreciated. Looking forward to next year. Best, N.C.
