Memorial Day weekend 2007 marked the inagural RACE Charities event as Jeromy Gensch and Ryan O’Donnell ran the Madison 1/2 Marathon. Ryan finished 16th in his age division and Jeromy completed the entire 13.1 miles non-stop without any prior training. Both runs were dedicated to Glory Gensch and ran in her loving honor. It was the beginning of many more RACE running events nation-wide.
