RUN 

The Donna Marathon Weekend is one we have often talked about and recommended highly as a bucket-list runcation. Months ago, amid the pandemic and so many unknowns, one of our most-loved race weekends went virtual. We registered, created a team, and now we want you to be a part of the fun!

The virtual events can be completed in a variety of ways. We are lucky enough to be joined this week by Amanda Napolitano, Executive Director for The Donna Foundation, who talks about the changes to the race weekend and how the races can be completed.
