The legs can be completed in any order, and participants can also re-run legs. … More Tour de Salisbury: 12 courses, 75 miles, and plenty of friends and scenery

I’ve already beaten my fastest 2020 half marathon time with my run at this month’s Salisbury Half Marathon, and I tried to beat my fastest 2020 5K on Saturday, when I ran my virtual Zoo Stampede 5K. … More I challenged myself with the virtual Zoo Stampede 5K

December 14, 2020

When I stepped onto the Ocean City Boardwalk on Saturday morning at Somerset Street, wearing a reindeer antler headband and my race bib, a couple people told me there were some reindeer looking for me, and one of them pointed north. That was why I’d come to the Boardwalk — to find reindeer as part … More TEAM 360’s Reindeer Run 10K was a unique, fun way to do a virtual race
