Sam loves to run and having others run with him. This will be Sam's 3rd Marathon. His coach, Ernesto Melchor-Gonzalez, will be pacing him on the bike. This is a great opportunity to test yourself and join Sam to run a 10K, 1/2 Marathon, or whatever distance you wish. Sam also loves having people cheer him on too, so please feel free to provide all the vocal enthusiasm you have!

As a Gator Athlete, Sam is using this Marathon as a kickoff to the NSSRA Fundraiser for the new NSSRA home building which will be open in Spring 2021. The Northern Suburban Special Recreation Association is an intergral part of Sam's life, providing community and activities for many special persons like Sam.
