From Beth O’Grady
A huge thank you to Wicked for your incredible support of Steve’s Team. You are a tremendously generous group, and this final marathon in my goal to complete 10 by my brother Stephen’s 10th anniversary was made so much more meaningful thanks to the friends I made along the way.
A huge shout out to Karen Giroux, Sally Holtzman, Stephanie Cooper, Alison Phelan and Billy Shea for being great training partners and helping to make this an experience I will always remember.
From Rich Tomlins

From Tammy Moschella
This is an awesome race! June 28th. Some minor hills but it’s relatively flat course, great barbeque after with a guitar player and it’s at a bar so you can get a cold beer afterwards! Parking fills quickly so get there EARLY!
I plan on making a day of it. I would love to have some company out there! Let me know if you are interested in joining us. I think Lester, Carol and Angel are going to do it with me. The more the merrier I always say!
From James DeLuca
