About Abigail
Abigail Simpson was a victim of homicide at the age of 21 in 2020. She was nearly 1 year sober at the time of her death. Living in a sober home was an important part of Abigail’s recovery and she stated many times she wanted sobriety and recovery for others as much as she wanted it for herself.
Run or walk in honor of young women who have substance use disorder and need recovery support (e.g. structured sober home). Living in a structured sober home is an important and key part of recovery and many women do not currently have access to an affordable and structured sober home in their community.
All proceeds go to The Abigail Elise Simpson Memorial Fund (not-for-profit organization) to support women in early recovery/establish a much-needed women’s sober home in West Bend/Washington County.

Aid Stations
We expect aid stations will be back by the race date, but for now we cannot guarantee a touch-free aid station, there are no aid stations on the course or at the finish line. You should bring your own water.
There will be an on-course bag drop area for you to leave your nutrition and hydration items. It is located adjacent to the start/finish line on the road. Please place your bag in the designated bag drop area before the race and space it 10’ from other bags. Both sides of the road can be used. This is a self-placement and self-serve bag drop. We will not be transporting bags on course. Don’t worry, there is plenty of time and space for you to self-place your bag. Besides, do you really want some yahoo touching your water bottle?
