I have had quite a few people requesting my schedule for my return to Normandy this year, so I thought I would publish it now that we are less than three months out!

Join me the morning of June 6 at 6am for my arrival at Utah Beach after running 100 miles of Normandy coastline for the D-Day 100 Mile Honor Run. I will be departing Pegasus Bridge on June 5 at 6am.

Additionally, I have been invited to participate in the inauguration of the Armand Lapierre Memorial in Port-en-Bessin on June 4 (time to be determined). I would love to see you there, too.

Below is a detailed list of the events I will be attending. I appreciate all of the support I have received since Run For Currahee started last year, and hope I can meet all of my supporters during my time in Normandy this year. You have made such a difference in my life!
