Race Day is Here: A Beautiful Tribute to Paige

The big day has finally arrived—race day is here! I can hardly contain my excitement as I look around at all the incredible people coming together to make this event a reality. Seeing everyone here today fills my heart with so much joy and gratitude. This is more than just a race; it’s a celebration of community, love, and the enduring legacy of Paige.

The setup started early this morning, and I’m in awe of the volunteers and supporters who arrived bright and early to help out. From setting up water stations to organizing registration tables, their dedication and enthusiasm are a testament to the strength of our community. It’s no small task to prepare for an event like this, but these amazing people made it feel effortless.

Honoring Paige’s Dream

This event holds a special place in all our hearts as we honor Paige’s memory and the dream she had for bringing people together. I can’t help but think about how thrilled she would be to see this day—hundreds of people gathered, smiling, laughing, and supporting one another. Her vision was about more than running; it was about building connections and creating something beautiful that could inspire everyone involved.

Standing here today, watching the energy and excitement in the air, I’m moved to tears. To see Paige’s dream come to life in such an extraordinary way is overwhelming. It’s a reminder of how one person’s vision can ripple out and touch so many lives.

A Scenic Route for a Special Day

Today’s race is taking place at Miramar and 182nd, with the course leading us down the block to the bridge and then back again. It’s a perfect setting for this incredible event, with plenty of space for everyone to run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines.

It’s going to be a warm day, and there’s no doubt we’ll all be a little hot and sweaty by the end of it. But that’s part of the charm—pushing ourselves, sharing in the experience, and feeling that satisfying exhaustion that comes from working together for something meaningful.

As I watch participants arriving, I see friends catching up, families laughing together, and new connections being made. This is exactly what Paige dreamed of—bringing people together in a way that leaves everyone feeling inspired and uplifted.
