Thanks Berge for sharing!

Special Olympics athletes participate in both winter and summer sports, giving them year-round fitness and social contact. But many of their families also take part, giving them an extra boost.

Ready to cheer on Chris & the rest of Achilles participating in this years Broad Street Run!

Kicking off week 4 of Broad Street Run training with Chris Lynch: “I run Broad Street every year for the camaraderie and it always the race that jump starts the running season.

Pro Tip: Don’t go out too hard and soak it all in. Engage with the spectators because their energy will carry you along the course.”

We’ll see you on Broad, Chris!
