About the Run for Max
The course runs through the cross-country trails where Max Fehring trained, so the ground underfoot is familiar to anyone who knew him or ran with him. It is a cross-country surface, not a road, and the setting carries that weight quietly.
This one draws friends, family, former teammates, and coaches as much as it draws runners. The walk option means people show up who are there to remember someone, not to race, and that shapes the whole morning in ways a typical road race does not.
