We want to take a moment to emphasize how crucial it is to stay aware of your surroundings while running, especially during training. Tragically, in Oct 2024, a local runner was struck by a car that ran a red light. Though they sustained life-threatening injuries and were in critical condition, we all hoped and prayed for a full recovery, and they did recover.
This incident serves as a powerful reminder that no matter how familiar or safe a route may seem, it’s essential to always be vigilant. Please make safety your priority—wear reflective gear, limit distractions like headphones, and consider running with a partner whenever possible. We care deeply about each and every one of you, and we want to ensure everyone stays safe.
Let’s continue to support and look out for each other, both on and off the course.
