NORFOLK, Va. - Strive Fitness and Sports Performance in Williamsburg, Va. will be holding their 6th Annual Treadmill-A-Thon starting in the morning of Friday, October 18, from 8-9 a.m. Three treadmills will be in action for 24 straight hours, as donations will be collected on behalf of Beyond Boobs and/or Hospice House of Williamsburg.
From 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Saturday, October 20, Lady Monarch head coach Karen Barefoot will be the celebrity finisher and will run and finish the event on Sara Jones’ behalf. Barefoot's goal is to run an hour without stopping. Jones bravely battled breast cancer for 12 years before passing away this past February.
