Kirsten Lindsay

Hello! It's me, Kirsten, and my running companion is Obi, a four-year-old rescue dog.

I am very excited to be raising money for the Doug Flutie Jr Foundation for Autism.  They provide financial assistance to families with Autistic children, education to first responders and grants to schools for materials to help all students acheive their potential. 

Our goal this year is to run 4 races in the Dopey Challenge, the 5k, 10k, Half Marathon and Marathon.  That's a total of 48.6 miles!! It would be awesome to raise $100 for every mile!

 I learned about the Foundation when I was running the Disney Princess Half Marathon earlier this year and knew that those running for it were a wonderful community that I wanted to be part of.  I also have the goal of COMPLETING the 4 Races for my 44th birthday which is the Thursday after race weekend.

Oberon and I are very excited to start our training journey and will be updating you about our adventures right here!  Obi will be going on most of my short runs and some of my long runs. It will really depend on his stamina (and the heat over the summer).  

I have two races leading up to Marathon Weekend and I will document them here.  The first one is in April, the Rock the Nock 10k and the second is the Ocean City Running Festival in November!

Help keep me on track and accountable!

We are SO close to race weekend and SO close to hitting our goal!  I can't tell you how excited I am!  Thank you all so much for helping make this bucket list dream come true!
