I’ve been called inspiring or “goals,” but truthfully — I’m just committed. I show up. For my business. For my health. For my people. And this 5K? It’s my way of creating space for YOU to do the same. If you’ve ever been to my shop, you might’ve seen my “b-inspired” wall — filled with encouraging words from customers, friends, and family. It’s something I lean on when I need a boost, and a reminder that the right people and words can keep you going. There’s no pressure — just a community coming together to move forward. Strength isn’t always about speed — it’s about showing up. Never compare your journey to anyone else’s. WHY WE RUN: The B-Inspired Scholarship will be awarded to a Boone High School senior who demonstrates drive, creativity, and passion for their future — whether that’s entrepreneurship or a career in fitness, sports, or wellness. This scholarship represents both sides of my journey: Entrepreneurship — building Letter Eats by B from the ground up Fitness & Self-Care — creating this race to inspire others to show up for themselves If this inspires you, register today and help us make an even bigger impact. See you at the finish line! PACKET PICKUP: Morning of the race starting at 7:30AM Following the race, participants are invited to enjoy all that the Arboretum has to offer.
