CAROLYN ENGELKEN
LIVE THE WAY YOU RUN
AWARD 2025 (WE HAVE 2!)
JOANNE STRATTON
"Joanne has dedicated her life to caring for others.
She’s the kind of person who doesn’t just talk about support — she lives it. She is a beacon of positivity. Whether we’re celebrating holidays, birthdays, race days, or recoveries, she finds a way to make it special — to remind us that every milestone, every 5K, every comeback is worth celebrating."
ANGEL HORVARTH
"Angel is not only a dedicated and enthusiastic runner, but also an even better human being — someone who makes every one of us feel seen, supported, and welcomed. She’s a role model, a motivator, a cheerleader, and a true friend. She is the heart of this club and when a new runner shows up, she’s the first to greet them with a smile and let them know just how happy we are that they’ve decided to join us."
