#OceanRunnerNH: Dopey Challenge Recap

Posted on March 24, 2017

SSC’s Ocean Runner Nichole fills fans in on her experience while participating in the Dopey Challenge at Walt Disney World in Florida. The race, held January 5-8, 2017, consisted of a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and marathon, totaling 48.6 miles. Nichole chose to run for greater purpose than her own personal satisfaction. As Vice President of Advancement at the Seacoast Science Center, Nichole chose to run to raise awareness of the importance of ocean health and ocean education, and launched a campaign to raise funds for the Center’s new #HealthyOceanOrBust initiative. Donations can be made here.
