Courtney was a daughter, sister, friend, and bright light in the lives of so many. She was known for her kindness, her smile, and the way she made people feel seen and valued. Though her time here was far too short, her impact continues to be felt every day through the people who loved her.

During the first race, something unexpected happened. Hundreds of participants shared stories of loved ones they had lost, struggles they had faced, and battles they were still fighting.

We realized this race wasn't just about Courtney anymore.

It had become a place where people could come together, share their experiences, support one another, and remind each other that no one should have to struggle in silence.
