It’s never too late to start running, as demonstrated by Olive Drew, a retired teacher who took up running at the age of 80 and continued to run until she was 93! The proceeds from Martini Madness: The Olive Run will fund scholarships in memory of Olive for students in her district (District #313) who would like to pursue a career in education.
