Athlete of the Month
JJ Hill
 |
JJ Hill is a regular everyday guy with one exception, he is obsessed with the E-Venti Marathon. The E-Venti Marathon is the only marathon to take place in Richmond. JJ has been the race director for 3 years and he has put his blood, sweat and tears into organizing all aspects of this event. This marathon is a fun event with the winner being the runner with the best poker hand, and not being the runner with the fastest time!
Somehow he has sweet talked sponsors like Starbucks, Richmond Subaru and Precision Health into donating money and time to the worthy cause: literacy in Richmond. The 2007 E-Venti Marathon raised over $5000. for children's books at the Steveston Library.
In addition to organizing the E-Venti, JJ is the brains behind the Steveston Athletic Association which is an informal group of approximately 150 runners who meet to train and prepare for marathons throughout the year, including the E-Venti.
If you are intersted in doing the E-Venti Marathon, get on it. It is limited to 104 participants and there are only 10 spots left. The race is on March 2, 2008, at 7am. We look forward to seeing you then!
