Lisa Smith-Batchen will be running 50 miles in 50 states in 62 days in an effort to raise 1 million dollars for children orphaned by AIDS. She and running partner Sister Mary Beth Lloyd will be making the Raleigh, NC stop on 5/5 at Lake Johnson (EAST loop). This is free, but if you want to run with Lisa, you need to register on the site for the waiver, etc. No aid stations, so please bring whatever food and hydration you will need. You don't have to run all 50, you can come and just do a few loops if you like.

Here are the details...

The Raleigh portion of Running Hope Through America will be held on Wednesday 5/5, starting at 5:30 AM EST. Anyone that would like to run the full 50 miles must begin with Lisa and friends at 5:30 AM. Any one wishing to run any other distance can arrive at their preferred time prior to 6 PM.
