Know No Boundaries

Pushing Boundaries (again)

In life, we are always confronting limits or boundaries of some sort. Unfortunately many of these boundaries are created within us; in our own mind. Even many physical disabilities can be overcome through mental fortitude & pure determination. We have all seen the runner lining up at a marathon starting line with a prosthetic leg or have heard of the blind climber; Erik Weihenmayer; who climbed Mount Everest.

Know No Boundaries will once again push boundaries by running the Tulsa Ciity Limits (and a bit). The run is still in the planning stages but will be held when the weather is cooler in the fall.

Everyone is welcome to join in for the whole run or any portion of the run. There will be no entry fee, no T-shirt & no finisher's medal. The price to join in may be a $10 donation to Know No Boundaries.

Stay tuned & God Bless You.

Brian Hoover of Runner's World and Founding member of the TATURs presented Know No Boundaries Founder and Managing Director Ken Saveth with the check the following week during the awards ceremony of the July 2010 6 Mile Poker Run. Monies received will be going towards obtaining wheelchars for local recipients. Kniw No Boundaries is currently working with local medical suppliers for the wheelchairs and with the community at large looking for the right recipients.

Thank you Runner's World Tulsa (http://www.runnersworldtulsa.com/).

50 Mile Midnight Madness

50 Mile Midnight MadnessOnce again, KNB broke through another boundary by finishing the inaugural 50 Mile Midnight Madness in 13 hours and 41 minutes. The race was held July 2nd and finishing July 3rd here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The race was (5) 10 mile loops alternating direction starting at 41st Street & Riverside Drive, around to Turkey Mountain & then back to 41st Street & Riverside. The race course shocased great views of one of Tulsa's premier running spots along Riverside Trail as well as jaunt up to Turkey Mountain. It was a great course for friends & family who were out in support of us. Prior to the race start, we had heavy rains but this did not dampen our spirits. Although we had a dry start at midnight and a dry 30 miles, the rain returned around mile 30 and did not let up for the remainder of the race. It is amazing how God works. Most people would shu running in heavy rains however the cool rain and mild breeze provided a much cooler day than if it had been a typical Oklahoma summer day in the upper 90's.

A tremendous thanks goes out to Brian and Kathy Hoover of Runner's World Tulsa who graciously donated a portion of the race proceeds to Know No Boundaries. Check them out for any of your running needs as well as great advice and friendship from some seasoned ultra runners (http://www.runnersworldtulsa.com/).

Keep your eyes open for our next event and come out to support us. As always, donations are always a welcome blessing.

God Bless You

Ken
