Phred's Story...
Ultra runner Fred (Phred) Murolo had a running streak of almost 40 years when he was struck hard with COVID. He spent 6 weeks in the hospital dealing with respiratory complications. No matter what insurance you have, such an event is a huge financial setback, with uncovered expenses combined with unpaid time off of work.
​
Anyone who knows Fred knows he is a giving sort of guy. Gentle, kind, down to earth, wise. He is also eloquent, and has penned both the intro to my own book, Run To Save Your Life, as well as his own work of fiction "Running Home" (available on Amazon) If you are lucky enough to have ever spent any time with Fred, you will know what a great guy he is. Races include LAVS, 3DATF, VolState, Umstead, and TGNY to name but a few. He is a co-host on the Cultra podcast as well as a member of the CT Trailmixers and West Rock Ramblers. All of the proceeds from this race outside of race expenses are going to the Murolo family.
