Special tribute: David McKannan and Bolt Series Executive Director Stephen Bolt were teamates at Grissom High School where they led their cross country team to a state title and each won their respective events in the state track meets. David earned a scholarship to run for Auburn and Stephen ran at Bama. The two have come together once again to create an exciting, memorable runner’s weekend experience that celebrates healthy choices, physical fitness through running and raises awareness and funding for research into a cure for ALS.
