40th Annual Forest City Road Races

We are so grateful for the continued support and generosity of Forest City Road Races! Having this in-person event for the first time in three and a half years was an incredible success and felt extremely positive, heartwarming, and fun!

A big thank you to everyone who participated, sponsored, donated, volunteered, and cheered! The Race Director, Shauna Versloot, deserves a special thank you for her leadership - without her, this wouldn't have been possible.

Overall details and results
