Michelle's Slow Burn 50K 〰️🧨🌟💙〰️
Welcome to Michelle’s Slow Burn 50K - an endurance event that commemorates half a century of life experiences.
Spending 50 years on the planet has taught me a lot. It’s also given me countless reasons to be grateful for my time here. To me, the best way to celebrate is to give thanks to the selfless people who’ve raised me up during every step, season, era of my journey.
And on this July 2-3, 2022, I’ll start this celebration by going on a kind of vision quest… in my own neighborhood (mostly). My goal is to run (ambulate quickly) 50K in 2.5 mile segments over 24 hours. Each segment will begin every 2 hours starting at 8:00am Saturday morning, and I plan on doing my victory lap just after the sun comes up Sunday. So, if you’re doing the math - that’s 2.5 miles x every 2 hours x 24 hours = almost 50K. Don’t worry, I will finish the additional mile+ (and then probably ugly cry for a hot minute) all before 8:00am Sunday.
Giving Back Will Make It Feel Better - Donations Gladly Accepted!
Why am I doing this? Great question - I’m glad you asked! My other goal is to raise awareness about and funds for organizations that are close to my heart. Brent (husband) and I have benefitted from working with these folks in different capacities, and want to shine a light on them (using the spectacle of this event for promotion).

2021 Fundraiser
Michelle's Halloween Fool Marathon Fundraiser
So, I signed up to run the Flying Pig Marathon on October 31st this year. Fear is closing in on me as I train to run 26.2 miles on the spookiest day of the year. Join me and Michael Myers in raising money to give scholarships to local girls so that they can participate in Girls on the Run's life-changing programs!
We're encouraging folks to sponsor each mile for $26, and have a goal of getting 4 girls into the program. GOTR prides itself on never turning away a girl due to financial hardship - even Michael knows how important that is! Let me know which mile(s) you wish for me to run in your honor, and I will update the list as needed. (Yes, you can sponsor a mile that's already 'taken,' and you don't even have to throw that person down an elevator shaft to do so.)
Your spooky miles are as follows:
