Once you donate, leave a dedication to your mom in Tribute Corner! As Run 100 for Mom(s) founder and racer Craig Bachrodt explains: Sharing stories of loved ones ensures that their inspiration and legacies live on and builds connections with others, helping us all to live that bit bigger!
The Leadville Trail 100 began in 1983 and covers 100 miles of rugged terrain. The circuit passes from Leadville through Sugarloaf Pass, Mount Elbert, Twin Lakes, Hope Pass, and Winfield.
Less than half of all participants (245/800) finished the challenging race within the 30-hour time limit. However, Craig Bachrodt finished the race in 29 hours, 3 minutes, and 32 seconds!
His story has been featured in Ocala Style Magazine and on page B2 of the Ocala Gazette. For more go to https://www.ocalagazette.com/ocala-gazette-july-15-july-21-2022

Craig has continued to run regularly alongside his career in business management. He is the proprietor of Palm Chevrolet in Ocala, following his family’s tradition in the auto dealership trade.
One donor wrote: “I’m donating in tribute to my mom - an amazing mother and grandmother. I would not be where I am today without her motivation, prayers, love, and sacrifices made over the years.”
