Story of the Runner's Bib
After Capt. Gerard Petroni’s stroke and brain bleed in November 2006, he couldn't speak. Months later, while his son Erik laid next to him in bed reading to him, he asked his father, “Dad, if you could write anything, the words that are the most important to you, what would you write?” Erik handed him a paper and a thick Black Sharpie, and his Dad, with some of the first words he had ever written, slowly scratched out “Never Quit.” He Never Quit for his family and they Never Quit for him.
Who would you Never Quit for?
Every participant will be able to write on their bib/runner’s tag with thick Sharpie pens, who they will Never Quit for. (Pens provided at Packet Pickup and morning of event) or fill in your bib at Home before the race. (Please write clearly in a bold Sharpie Pen)
Our photographers will take pictures of you at the event for free. You can then go to www.NeverQuitNever.com See Race Pictures here and download high resolution pictures for free. You can print or email the pictures, upload them to your Facebook page, etc., so the person who you are Never Quitting for (i.e. Family member or friend, someone you love and/or someone that maybe is going through a tough time, injured, won’t quit smoking, etc.) can see you giving it your best and Never Quitting for them. It may just be the difference in turning their life around and/or changing it for the better or they will simply see the love you have for them.
(Most if not all races charge to access event pictures, ours are 100% free to you)
You will also have pictures taken of you surfing, fishing, running into the ocean when you are about to do your swim or paddle, or as you are running out of the ocean, reaching to tag your next team mate. The images will capture a fire, excitement and drive like no other event. Images that you will be so proud to own and show others.
