Event Description

This is a virtual race challenge to raise money for the Verona High School Lacrosse Parents Association which directly supports the Verona High School girls lacrosse team.  Funds raised for this challenge will be applied to a memorial scholarship in memory of Verona Coach. Julie A Nippes who recently passed away in August 2020. Coach Nippes wore number 27 when she played lacrosse.

Julie was a gifted athlete, a fierce competitor and a caring coach.  She cared for people and got involved. She was passionate, kind and funny. You could always find Julie at one of the kids’ games, either cheering loudly or holding a clipboard with detailed drills that took her hours to look up.  She was an unofficial nurse, always on the ready with a bandaid, a loose diagnosis or some encouraging words.  Julie loved lacrosse and traditions old and new.  For this reason the lacrosse team wants to run this challenge in her honor.

The goal for this challenge is 27 miles.  You will have 27 days to complete this challenge.  In this virtual challenge, you can add miles you complete from running, walking or even biking.  Since this is a virtual challenge, you can complete it at any location.  You can change the location each time you begin.  Run from your home, find a trail, a mountain, wherever you like.  Be creative.  Let's support each other and achieve our goals as a team while having fun and getting physically fit.  Let's GO!

This virtual challenge is sponsored by Golden Eagle Races, which is a newly formed small business, owned and operated by a local Verona resident and currently serving military veteran.  Golden Eagle Races will be donating a portion of the race proceeds directly back to the Verona High School Lacrosse Parents Association.  HOOAH!  Together, we can raise funds for VHSLPA and have some great fun and fitness at the same time.
