INAUGURAL RUN
Miles with Meaning
Behind every bib number is a story, one that deserves to be recognized and felt. The Hops Half along with the A.E. May Foundation is committed to honoring those stories by giving back to our community, uniting people in hope, and creating an experience rooted in purpose. Every heartbeat, every uphill push, and every shared mile becomes a part of something bigger: Miles With Meaning.
