IMPACT LOCAL 5K/10K
I know. I know! As my 2.0s would say. We took a long time to get back to you. Well we hope it was worth the wait. Our apologies for leaving you in such suspense but we had to figure things out.
As most of you know we put the impact local race together quickly. It was an upstart renegade run with hooligans that had way too much fun. And were going to do it again! We don’t know what next year will bring. Will it be more professional…. probably not. Will there be more fun and people involved absolutely!
So here is how all of the donations broke down and were distributed to make an impact here in our local area:
| Charity | Amount |
| Rice N Beans.org | $ 500 |
| Classroom Central | $ 1,000 |
| Church on the Street | $ 1,000 |
| Alexander Youth Network | $ 1,000 |
| Turning Point Church(food bank) | $ 1,000 |
Please take a moment to search them up and take a look at how these organizations impact your local community.
We would like to thank all of you for being there and or donating. There are some people who need special thanks:
Iron horse who designed the logo and had the tshirts printed.
Bratwurst who was the race course designer and set up all the cones.
Frasier who supplied the coffee we so desperately needed.
ALL the ladies of FIA !
The amazing Gypsy and his roving Speed For Need Chariot.

P.s. In the same spirit and fun my good friend Tuck has developed another renegade race that you can impact a local charity:

Kirby and Strawberry,
Job well done. That’s an amazing amount of money to raise. I got an email from Alexander Youth Network and they were very appreciative.
If anyone is interested in learning more about AYN or joining a non-profit board, reach out to me for details. It’s a great way to extend support to the community.
