Are you ready to witness an epic showdown of athleticism, determination, and sportsmanship? We proudly present the Ben vs. Jordan 10Km Run, a thrilling event that not only promises an exhilarating race but also contributes to a meaningful cause – the Jim Abernathy Challenge! You will have the opportunity to donate to the individual you believe will come out victorious. Unlike the Marsh vs Acera Softball game of last week, you will not be disappointed (Brennan….0 for 6 at the plate….come on man)

Background:
7 years ago during the Marsh summer outing we bore witness to the first round of the Ben vs Jordan running competition. On that fateful day Jordan shocked the world winning in fairly convincing fashion. To this day the full moon still haunts Rob Landolt’s memories.

Event Details:
Date: October (Exact date TBD) -> Stay tuned!
Time: High Noon
Location: Stanley Park
Distance: 10 Kilometers
