2009 John Daley One One Run

2009 John Daley One One Run

New Year’s Day at Spring Valley Park on the east side of Kalamazoo was a day to run, walk, smile, laugh, high five, hug and shiver a bit too. A herd of people (and pets) braved the cold wind but warmed their hearts with friends – old and new. At One o’clock, the participants started to run/walk, and moved in a steady stream around the park finding that movement is a great cure for cold, and a fun way to share memories and build friendships.

We at Gazelle Sports have had the privileged to host the One One Run, and reconnect with people who we love (or at least like a lot) and bring the New Year in with the energy of happiness, celebration, friendship, family, and movement.

We understand that some of the most important aspects of our lives are what make the One One special and important – building positive relationships, supporting a great local organization, and being healthy.

In a moment in history, when we can be anxious about issues we don’t often control, it is good to find a way to connect with the spirit of movement and health and friendship and fun. That is the spirit of John Daley and the One One Run.

I want thank all who joined us and those who were there in spirit.
And thank all our sponsors, City of Kalamazoo, Gazelle Sports staff, volunteers, and the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Kalamazoo for their support.
And thank the incredible effort of our event committee, Greta Faworski, Rob Lillie, Alycia Vince, Dottie Sullivan, and Cassie Hunter.

Happy New Year – may 2009 be full of the spirit of the One One Run in your life.

Keep Moving,
Chris
