Last weekend Team Run Flagstaff hosted a 24 Hour Run on Heritage Square in downtown Flagstaff, AZ. They assembled two treadmills on the Square and kept them moving for 24 hours straight. Treadmills were powered by club members and other guests from the community. Each runner had a 20-minute window to do their part. The Run started at 10am on Saturday, July 9th and ran until 10am on Sunday, July 10th. It was great exposure for the club, an excellent way to fund-raise, promote running and a healthy Flagstaff lifestyle. Here's a great article about the Run. Thanks to Neil Weintraub for some of the following photos and video footage.

As the sun set, the rain, thunder, lightning and wind began. It was of no matter as the treadmills continued to roll.
