Favorite Sports Backers Event? “My favorite Sports Backers event is the 10k Mini because I love getting to see so many Kids On The Move kids crossing the finish line with pride!”
Favorite non-Sports Backers Event? “My favorite non-Sports Backers event that I ever participated in was the Growler Relays. It was so cool to run the entire Capital Trail with a team of friends, compete in fun challenges at the exchange zones, and finish at a brewery in Williamsburg. The race growler instead of a shirt was pretty cool too!”
