Addy's run has a personal connection for Coach Mike as Mike's daughter Brynn & Addy are best friends.
This is the 7th annual Addy’s Run to help raise awareness for CLOVES. Adalynn “Addy” is a local Waterford resident born with CLOVES in April 2017. Our mission is to educate the world about this rare disease and help those who are affected by it through donation, support and awareness.
Proceeds from this race will be donated to the CLOVES community towards research to help find treatment options for this incurable disease.

"Sara Wilkinson, Rogue, CrossFit, and GORUCK present the hero workout “CHAD” in honor of Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson who took his life on October 29, 2018, due to the effects of numerous deployments, several TBIs, blast wave injuries, and PTSD. Our goal is to honor Chad’s life and legacy and to raise awareness for suicide prevention
CHAD1000X has brought together thousands of registered participants, as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars raised since 2020, looking to be a part of something greater than themselves. To not only bring awareness to the epidemic of suicide, particularly among veterans but also to help be part of the solution through the support of The Step Up Foundation and other veteran health initiatives.
This year, join us again in paying respect to Chad Wilkinson and all those who have been lost to suicide, while also committing to try to change the number. #CHAD1000X
All proceeds of the CHAD 1000X fundraiser will go to support Veteran Mental Health Initiatives through The Step Up Foundation which, in conjunction with Sara Wilkinson, will provide financial support to other nonprofits dedicated to Veteran Mental Health Initiatives."
