Description

8th Annual Homemade Half (HONOR RUN FOR PEDRO)

Event Details

2019 will be our 8th Annual Homemade Half Marathon and Almost 10k (and One Mile Walk)!! We have such fun at this homemade event, raising much needed funds that go DIRECTLY to our chosen charity partners each year.

This year, we will be raising money to support our dear Caroline and her daughter Valentina, as they move through this time of loss and sadness.

This year's run will be dedicated to the memory of Pedro Vianna, an HONOR RUN for PEDRO, and a celebration of his life and the love he spread around like confetti, every day.

Please visit the Go Fund Me page below to enter your donation. All money raised will go directly to the family.

There's also the most amazing post race potluck party, and this year, we'll have some AWESOME things you won't want to miss!! (all the BACON!!)

The Homemade Half Marathon does not have:

---timing chips or any kind of timing whatsoever, except your watch

---a huge start line (more like, "Okay--GO!!")

---aid stations

---bathrooms or porta-potties ALONG the course

---a huge finish line (more like, "YAY!!! You're done!! Here's your mimosa!!)

---heavy, machine made medals

The Homemade Half Marathon will most likely have:

---a LOT of heart and probably some tears!!

---a LOT of humor and a huge amount of goofiness!!

---a Homemade Half Marathon medal (that is, if you let us know that you're running it in time to make you a medal)!

We'll start and at 8:00 am on November 24

***THIS YEAR, since it's an HONOR RUN for PEDRO, you get to choose your distance, WHATEVER you want to run or walk in honor of our friend.

***Please let us know by November 17th which distance you wanna do, so we can make sure to have enough medals made!!

***If you run the 10K, please please please stick around to cheer the Half Marathoners in after their run!!
