Do you have old running gear that is still usable, but no longer fits your running routine?  We have the answer – donate it to the men at the AIR Foundation.  You can bring the following items to the August TS or to the  MTS on August 23rd.  We’ll get them over to Nick Sterner and give them new life with a AIR Foundation runner.

• Watches – any type sports watches
• Hydration – prefer some type of belts/bottles that can be worn while running
• Fall/Winter Gear – as we’re heading into the fall, we need to start preparing participants for colder weather
  • Any gloves
  • Socks
  • Active-wear
  • Compression or thermo shirts and pants
  • Sweats

We received a recent request for a Ph.D. student who is studying first time marathon runners. If you’ve completed your first marathon within the past year and want to help her out with her research, check out her survey below.
