This month we had two events with Charity Bib participants; a long-time favorite from Vacation Races – the Saguaro Half Marathon and new to the Wander Project party, Suffer Better’s Running Up for Air Staunton event. This event had timed slots (3-,6-,12,-24 hours) where folks commit to running up a peak as many times as they can during their time period. There were big smiles throughout the day and some impressive mileage racked up! Speaking of impressive, take a look at these Charity Bib numbers!
