Learning & Improvement:
As a growing organization, we know we don’t get everything perfect — and we value the feedback that helps us improve.
In 2025, we learned from participant input regarding the 10K course markings. We are grateful for the patience and encouragement shared with us and are committed to applying those lessons to ensure future events reflect the experience we intend: welcoming, well-run, and rooted in community.
“I look forward to the race every year. It’s great seeing you and the rest of the family — we’ll be there next year.”See full blog

He fought in the same way he lived his life, with intention and relentless hope and faith. Complaints were rare, his sense of humor was vibrant and his optimism rarely waned. Although Blake did not find a medical cure here, his spirit lives on, and we believe he found the answers and the clarity he needed. His life and his battle with cancer inspired so many around him and through his search for purpose, we have found ours.
The Blake Pottle Foundation provides funding, awareness, and support to those affected by cancer. The Foundation identifies opportunities to partner with healthcare and community organizations to further cancer research, prevention and detection with an overarching goal of making a lasting impact in the fight against cancer.
A cancer diagnosis can be a devastating experience, and those that are fighting cancer are met with so many obstacles. Understanding this first-hand, the organization provides direct support to families that face the challenges that only a cancer diagnosis can bring. Cancer is an experience shared by so many, and the Blake Pottle Foundation will bring hope and support to those that need it most.
