Speed For Need
The mission of SPEED FOR NEED is to empower members of the community affected by disability or disease through participation in fitness events. Simply put, our goal is to help people get to the Finish Line and finish the race… their race.
We do this by mobilizing High Impact Men (HIM) in F3 Nation in responsibly pushing these loved ones in specialized racing chairs to create an experience impossible by themselves due to their limitations. In doing so, SPEED FOR NEED exists for the enjoyment of the athlete-rider (who we call Track Commanders) and their families, to raise awareness and financial support for local charities and partners, and to increase the visibility of F3Nation in our communities for the purpose of invigorating all men, and sparking a call to action.

First time running this race. 34 degrees and snow looming. The course has some hills but overall elevation gain was only 497.2. Packet pu was smooth, course well marked, RD did a great job throughout day and night prior keeping us in the loop with the weather. The volunteers on the entire course were FABULOUS! This is a great NC race!!
