Chris Scott | 2019 C-VILLE-athon Finisher

Running is an individual sport, but it takes a community to cultivate a lifelong runner. My local fellowship at Champion run club, led by James Walsh and Hunter Smith, has inspired me to pursue running growth. While I’ve always enjoyed 5k events, seeing other Champion athlete involvement in C10M  and C-VILLE-athon encouraged me toward longer events. After three C10M and three C-VILLE-athons under my belt, I decided to complete my first half-marathon in Richmond this year. My role models compelled me to chase new goals. I could not have done this without C-VILLE-athon events encouraging regular running. Thank you!
