Like so many people in Belmont – and around the country – I was inspired by our town’s own Becca Pizzi when, a few months back, she became the first American woman to win the World Marathon Challenge. If you weren’t following it: that’s 7 marathons in 7 consecutive days on 7 different continents. As one of my friends commented on Facebook “how is this possible?” I think we all asked ourselves the same question.

But Becca did it. Now, to help continue the great work she started with the World Marathon Challenge, Becca has announced a 5K fun run to raise money to help fund scholarships for BHS seniors headed off to college. (A worthy cause.)

Here’s the critical info:
