Dedication Dinner and Silent Auction to benefit the Beat Cancer Boot Camp
The Inaugural Mount Lemmon Marathon is hosted by Bart Yasso. Yasso joined Runner's World in 1987 to develop the groundbreaking Runner's World Race Sponsorship Program, creating a vehicle for Runner's World to work with over 7,000 races representing 4 million runners per year. Inducted into the Running USA Hall of Champions, Yasso also invented the Yasso 800s, a marathon-training schedule used by thousands around the world. He is one of the few people to have completed races on all seven continents from the Antarctica marathon to the Mt. Kilimanjaro marathon.
The Beat Cancer Boot Camp is the Official Charity of the event and all proceeds from the silent auction will be donated to this great organization. The original artwork was created and donated by the Visual Arts class from the Art Institute of Tucson. To register please click on the logo on the right.
