BRADASS 10k

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

Here's the story behind this race: Bradlee LaMontagne's life was cut way too short at the age of 21, December 10 2020. He was tragically killed by a negligent boat driver in Cozumel, Mexico. He was a Junior at Johns Hopkins and also the Captain of the wrestling team. He loved wrestling. He started wrestling in elementary school with Great Neck Wrestling Club and continued on until college. He was two-time captain of the Cox Wrestling team and a state finalist and two-time state placer, region champion, and had over 120 varsity wins. He was a NCAA All American Scholar at Johns Hopkins placing in the region.

Bradlee has 4 siblings and many family and friends. He was loving, kind, passionate and hard working. He had the kind of energy and positivity that would fill the room and bring a smile to everyone around them. He will be forever missed and loved.

🍗 Thanksgiving Memory

One Thanksgiving of note, 2019, Bradlee wanted to enjoy Thanksgiving just like everyone else. Except when you're a wrestler, as some of you know, wrestlers cut weight so it's not as easy to just eat and lay around like most of us get to do. Around the holidays it's pretty torturous especially when everyone is eating until their buttons pop off. Well, Brad wanted to eat and eat big, so he did what anyone would do, he ran 15.04 miles Thanksgiving morning!! Let me say it again, 15.04 MILES JUST TO EAT! That is BRADASS!
