Be an Angel for myTEAM TRIUMPH
myTEAM TRIUMPH is our race beneficiary. This organization provides an opportunity for individuals with disabilities to participate in a race. Those individuals, called "Captains," are escorted during the race by "Angels". There are usually 3 Angels assigned to each Captains' chariot.
If you are interested in running the St. Paddy's Leprechaun Chase as an Angel, DO NOT SIGN UP ON THE RACE PAGE. More information on how to register will be shown here in the coming weeks... stay tune!
