Benefit for Nicki Goodwin

Please take a second to read the link below, which has been created on behalf of Nicki Goodwin. She has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 Spindle Cell Carcinoma which is a rare form of soft tissue cancer.

Nicki has just now started her long road ahead with her husband and their son. Please help to provide support through good thoughts and/or through a donation (if you can). A fund has been created on her behalf to help assist in alleviating their family's financial burden and to help her focus on fighting this battle.

ODDyssey Half Marathon

The ODDyssey was recognized as one of the top 100 road races in North America last year because of the race's dedication to the runners' experience! Philadelphia's spring half marathon, it is catching on fast and it is easy to see why - this is more than a race, it is an event that really celebrates running.

The ODDyssey also is the most fun half marathon you will ever run. It features live music along the course and at the finish, medals with beer openers built in, and commemorative pint glasses to all finishers! Best of all, sponsors Sly Fox Brewery will provide you with a free beer at the finish line and PhilaMassages will have a platoon of masseuses providing free post race massages. There is even a costume contest with bobble-head trophies (about 25% of runners ran in costume last year) and there are optional quirky challenges along the course.
