As participants transition back into society, they take these skills into the world and we continue our support of their running/walking journey by providing a brand new pair of running shoes, sports bra, and socks.

We’re 1 week from for our fall run group at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility! Our participants have been training for 6 weeks to prepare for the and we can’t wait to see everyone cross the finish line!
In the meantime, we prep! To complete 3.1 miles, participants will complete 12 (plus a little extra) laps on the yard. As we all know, tracking laps when you’re focused, tired, excited, etc. can be challenging so each person receives a lap counter with 13 strips of paper. To help with the mental aspect of running and to set incremental goals within the race, each counter has 4 color sections - 4 x 3 colors to represent each mile completed, and 1 white strip to show you’re on your last lap!
Shout out to all race organizers who do this on the regular! So much important work goes on behind the scenes to ensure an outstanding experience for all!
Look for a post-race update next week!
