If this is your First Time.

Welcome.  You need to do this run.  You need to show yourself that you can take on the impossible – and succeed.

This run is a metaphor for your life.  As you sit looking at this, it looks impossible and you think you will never be able to do this; you will never make it.  It’s true, this is a challenge like no other.  We care about you and we want you to succeed.  We have a plan to help you overcome this impossible challenge.  There are simple steps you can follow that will help you achieve what you never thought you could.  We believe in you, we know you can.

When you get to the top of the hill (you will, we guarantee it) you will find the Mini Aid Station.  There are two things for you to stop, appreciate, and take in.  First, is your achievement.  You have made it and you will feel like you have never felt before.  On top of the world and able to take on anything life can throw at you  – and win!  The second thing you will notice, is the view.  If the first does not take your breath away, the second will.

If this is your Second Time.

Welcome back. This time will be different.
