The YOLO Organization, founded by Darke Countians Phillip and Jodi Pierri, is hosting a Festival of Races in Greenville on August 31st. This is the first event planned by the YOLO Organization and will help raise funds towards their goal of building a community "splash pad" (what is it? Awesome is what it is, but you can read more details here).
The day will include a 5k, a 15k, and a half marathon. We have established that a half marathon is 13 miles, but the video below (accompanied by the best song of all time) really shows just how long that is. The video is a fly over view generated from Google of the half marathon course, and it really gives you an idea of how much ground this will cover in and around Greenville.
Check it out, then read more about the YOLO Organization at their site. They've set their goals high and seem to be putting together a very solid, well developed program with an amazing goal in mind that would greatly benefit our community.
