Lisa Takes on the 508 This Weekend to Complete the 810!
This summer, Lisa ran 302-miles through Death Valley and this weekend, she will
ride 508-miles. This combination is known as the Death Valley Cup Challenge.
It’s one of the most aggressive athletic events ever–for one of the greatest causes
imaginable: helping save the lives of children orphaned by the AIDS virus. ALL proceeds
for the event go to AIDS Orphans Rising, which is why we’re so passionate about
spreading the word.
To date, Lisa’s 810 has brought in $435,000 since May 1st; our goal is $500,000.
You can DONATE HERE [http://www.lisas810.com/donate.html ]
.
Together, we can do so much! Thank you!
P.S. – Follow LISA’S PROGRESS [http://www.lisas810.com/updates.html ]
throughout the weekend for updates.

2008 Grand Teton Races
The 2008 Grand Teton Races were, once again, an amazing success! This year saw
our largest field to date and three course records fell over the two days of racing,
Thank you to Smartwool, Vasque, Grand Targhee Resort, Nathan and all of our amazing
sponsors for their continued support. Additionally, thank you to every volunteer
who marked the trail, set up a tent, filled a water bottle, carried a table or encouraged
the runners. You are the extraordinary people who make our events so special.
Please come out and join in the fun over Labor Day Weekend 2009!
