Kalamazoo Gazette: Running community shows solidarity

The Kalamazoo Gazette reports more than 200 Kalamazoo-area runners gathered to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing by running as a group Tuesday evening at the Celery Flats. 

 

Excerpt: “Use that first half mile to see how lucky we are to be out here running today,” Brett Beier, who organized the run, said from the platform of the grain elevator shortly before a moment of silence was held for the victims of the bombings. “Some people won’t be able to ever run again.” Beier said a tribute intended to include 10 to 20 of his friends turned into a much larger gathering -- and took on the name Solidarity Run -- because of the closeness of the Kalamazoo running community.
