“Running unites us and brings us together because, in the words of the great Bill Rogers, "We sweat the same. We struggle the same."

Toeing the starting line of a marathon, regardless of the language you speak, the God you worship or the color of your skin, we all stand as equal. Perhaps the world would be a better place if more people ran.”
