"Run 5.2 at 5"

Yesterday, April 21, 2013, the Tallahassee Running Community participated in a "Run 5.2 at 5". We ran in honor of the Boston marathon participants who were stopped short of their finish line, and the friends and family who were waiting at the finish line, due to an unfortunate event that devastated us all.

On April 15th, the Boston Marathon was cut short at 21 miles leaving runners who had trained for months, run several other marathons in order to qualify for Boston, 5.2 miles short of their goal.

Boston, we ran in honor of you. I am proud to have been part of the event and to see everyone unite for this cause.

Over 1,000 runners participated and $13,000 was raised to help the victims and families however we can.

Thank you to the organizers of the event, and thank you Tallahassee for giving.
