Known for delivering one of the most incredible speeches in history during the American Civil Rights Movement, among other accomplishments, things would look a lot different if it wasn’t for Martin Luther King Jr. and his efforts for achieving equality and human rights for African Americans. To honor his accomplishments, we are happy to launch our “I Have A Dream” virtual running events. This 2020 virtual race can be completed any time of the year, from anywhere, and at your own pace.
