Event Description
ABOUT: On August 17th, 2014, Bill Mather ran 100 laps around the Hillsborough High School Track on behalf of the families supported by Steps Together. (It was actually 105 laps to make it a full 26.2 marathon distance.) He had run his first 5K with Steps Together so it only seemed fitting that his first marathon be for steps Together. He named his event 100 Laps of Healing and it was a huge success on many levels. The event raised awareness about Steps Together, awareness about the families we help, it also brought our beneficiaries and community together on the track all while raising funds for our organization.
2020 will mark the 7th100 Laps of Healing event which has now raised over $30,000 for Steps Together. In 2015, our community came out and walked or ran 5,459 laps or 1,364.75 miles. That's been a record we've been trying to break since that date. Can you help us in 2020?
