"Thank you for all of the support the last few months. You have really helped me get into a groove as far as consistent training and realizing that I can do hard things. Because of these difficult times I don't think I could have established my running again without your support; it has made a tremendous impact on my life and the way I look at things. Even though my work as a teacher is especially hard right now I know that if I get my run in my day is going to be great."
Roxanne Honaker -- 2020
"I was very pleased with how Avalon 50-Mile went. My mentors were awesome in helping me get to the finish line
and your words of wisdom echoed in my head the whole way! It would've been a lot harder without all your support
and I'm looking forward to the new season!" -- Ivy Castillo -- First 50-Mile Run -- January 2018
