Team KNR Kicks off with Two Days of Races

Starting at the Blue Line

The Akron Marathon Race Series marked its tenth year with a weekend of exciting race events under overcast skies. Runners made their way to the  University of Akron for not one but two days of race events: the National Interstate 8k and 1-mile races.

Building Communities Through Racing

KNR’s team members, including Marketing Coordinator Ciara B., Litigation Team Lead Kim M., and Operations Coordinator Mia C., gathered at the blue line to join thousands of other participants. This year’s event was particularly special as it celebrated a decade of bringing people together through the joy of racing.  

For over a decade, the Akron Marathon Race Series has supported local charities through its Blue Line Charity Program. This initiative enables various community charities to use the race series as a platform for fundraising, which brings the community closer together.  

Working Together for Akron

At KNR, we take pride in supporting our local communities. Participating in events like the National Interstate 8k and 1 Mile allows us to contribute to the collective effort of supporting our community. We plan to continue to collaborate and support various nonprofits by joining with local charitable partners to build stronger, more united communities.
