The Buck Fifty

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

This sacrifice represents something bigger than one’s self. It means putting others before yourself, including your loved ones, your community, and our nation. This spirit of selflessness, service, and sacrifice is something that not only resonates with us, but is something we at The Buck Fifty deeply respect.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸

Follow this page to see some of the great things produced from our Memory Mile on Leg #8. When you sponsor a name for $25 during the race it helps to support these $500 scholarships being given out currently. Look through all the posts to see the wonderful works Kristy Landman is producing. Thanks to everyone who helps make the world a better place!

The scholarship was set up in memory of Joe Landman who was a 2002 graduate of Pickaway-Ross CTC & Huntington High School

Happy Mother’s Day to all our Buck Fifty moms out there! Thank you for the strength, encouragement, and heart you bring to your families and our community. We hope your day is filled with love, appreciation and a hopefully a little time to relax (after getting some miles in, of course) 🏃‍♀️🩷

Our start/finish line in Scioto Trail State Park for our Half Marathon and 5K is a perfect home base. We set up right off Airport Road and have plenty of space for parking. Race day is Saturday, July 11th, and we are looking for more runners. The gravel roads around Scioto Trails are tree lined, shaded, and it's just a beautiful setting.
