👟💨 Grab Your Sneakers & Your Sass – It’s Time for Bree’s Miles of Memories! 💜
Alright, y’all, it’s that time again! Get ready to run, laugh, and maybe sweat a little (or a lot) at Bree’s Miles of Memories – the race that honors the incredible Breanna Leigh Chadwick and keeps her legacy alive. We miss her every day, but we’re making sure her kindness, love, and legendary energy live on. 💫
📢 Dr. Seuss Fans, Assemble! 🧢🐱
Seussville is coming in hot, and it’s bringing ALL the characters. Expect to see the Cat in the Hat and crew roaming around, posing for photos, and making mischief. 📸 Oh, and don’t worry about trying to get that perfect shot—we got FREE photography services to capture all the fun (and the sweat… lots of sweat).
💜 A Moment for Bree
We’ll take time for a special Memorial Presentation to reflect on Breanna’s beautiful impact on so many lives. It’s a moment to honor her kindness, her heart, and the way she made the world a better place.
🏆 Get Ready to Battle for the $250 Prize! 💰
Two groups will take home $250—one student organization and one business/community group with the most participants. But let’s be real, we know some of y’all are in it for the flex. (FYI: You can only win in one category, so choose wisely.) (Check the website for group qualifications)
👗 Dress to Impress – Seuss Style! 🎩🦸♂️
Think you can rock a Grinch suit or pull off a full-on Lorax look? We want to see it! Dress as your favorite Dr. Seuss character for a chance to snag a special prize.
🎽 Perks on Perks!
All racers get a commemorative race shirt because (racers signed up prior to 02/16/2026 are guaranteed a shirt), let’s be honest, we all love a good free tee. And kids 10 & under? They’ll be walking away with a Dr. Seuss book to keep the whimsy going.
💜 The Best Part? Every Penny Goes to Bree’s Legacy!
Every step you take, every mile you crush, helps support love, charity, kindness, and community—the values Breanna held dearest. And guess what? This race is also a Peachtree Qualifier (so, yeah, we’re legit).
So, lace up, sign up, and bring the energy! Let’s make this the biggest, best, and sassiest Bree’s Miles of Memories yet.
