Race4Souls
As almost 200 people lined up at the start lines on Sunday May 17th in Lincoln, Nebraska, we started the Race4Souls to support Soles4Souls.
We knew 30 days would be a push, but we really felt like we could still have an impact in that short time period. Now, I have run plenty of races, but this was my first time directing a race and wow, it is tons of work, but tons of fun at the same time!
This race/walk had a very special meaning as it was also dedicated to “Lost Souls” and carrying on their legacy through the footsteps of another. We had over 10 families honoring lost loved ones. We ended up naming the kids mile “The Miles Mile” , Miles Ludvick passed away last year and his family did a shoe drive, we surprised them with the Miles Mile and it was an emotion moment.
A quick thank you to our other sponsors Beatrice Ford-Lincoln, Red Dirt Running Company, Hilton Garden Inn, Nebraska Sign Company, The Flatwater, and Speedway Motors

We also had virtual runners join from all over, even some of our International Queens! Visit the Race4Souls facebook page to see who joined in the effort to help Wear Out Poverty https://www.facebook.com/Race4Souls?fref=ts)
Some of my favorite event pictures below:
We had two ladies come in from Refit Revolution to get the crowd going and they certainly did just that!
Mrs. South Dakota International 2015 Shirlene Hagler and Miss Teen Southeast South Dakota International 2015 Jaclynn Knutson hopped in the photo booth for a Race4Souls Pic!
We had LOTS of shoes donated on the Race4Souls day
