Van Support: How I Reached The Beach

Reach The Beach is a relay race that stretches over 200 miles from the Mountains of New Hampshire to the state’s coastal shores, and tests the physical, as well as mental fortitude of 12 teammates.  It’s a race that will not only change your perspective on running, but life in general.
