💪There’s something powerful about finishing what you start. Every mile, every hard day, every choice to keep showing up matters.

Our runners at A Running Start have been putting in the work week after week, and now we’re counting down to race day on June 6 with RaceRise. 🏃‍♂️🔥

This race is about more than a finish line. It’s about proving to yourself that you can keep going. One step at a time.

❤️Thank you so much to J&H Outdoors and J&H Running Co. Store for the incredible shoe donations to A Running Start.

People don’t always realize how much something as simple as a good pair of shoes 👟 can matter. For our runners, it means confidence. It means dignity. It means showing up ready to keep moving forward.

Programs like ours truly depend on community support, and we are so grateful for businesses that choose to invest in people and believe in second chances.

Thank you for helping remove barriers and reminding our runners that this community sees them, supports them, and believes in them. ❤️

Lexington really does show up for people. 🏃
