SHOUT OUTS

Thanks to all our patrons and everyone in the Runcation Nation for your support and encouragement.  Because of you, we have been able to keep the show going over the last two years, and now that the races are returning, we look forward to meeting up with you, too!

Congratulations to Marathoner Nicole Kay from the Cape Coral Running Group on completing her first-ever MARATHON!  

Congratulations to all who ran the 2023 Gasparilla Distance Classic this past weekend!  It meant so much to run with Jessica, JoJo, Darlene, Susie, Christy, Greg, Dawn, and so many others that we did not get a chance to run into, like Laurie.  Patron of the show, Dean Gerber, got a PR in the half marathon distance, as did his wife Judy in the 8K.  To have Fitz announce this race and be a part of the weekend with us made it an incredible start and finish line feeling, too!

Congratulations to all who ran the 2023 Princess Half Marathon Weekend.  We saw so many on social media who posted medal pictures and footage from the Runcation Nation, so to everyone there, congratulations on running and cheering.  

Patron Meg Brower crossed that post-surgery finish line at the Princess 10K in Orlando.

Congratulations to one of our favorite local breweries, Fort Myers Brewing Company, who started the craft beer movement here in Lee County, Florida.  Happy ten years, @fmbrew!  Here’s to many more!  Cheers!
