Episode 15: Reflecting on the Run! We did it! 

Our run is DONE! And boy was it FUN! The Millinocket Marathon & Half did not disappoint! Our Team showed up with the energy to run, cheer, and serve! It was a cold start to the morning, just over 0 degrees, but warm with love! Auntie Lauren started the race with a traditional song, honoring Wabanaki history and recognizing our connection to the sacred territory, Mt. Katahdin. Race day was filled with excitement, the crowd was ready to cheer and did so every mile of the race! The runners, including Auntie Lisa and Auntie Saige, came with commitment and smiles on their faces despite the frigid temperatures! And.. the race organizers, a dynamic team which includes Uncle Gary Allen (episode 11), who amaze us every year, we thank you! Kci Woliwon! Please sit back or take a walk and listen to our reflections from the run and hear from other Team Wabanaki runners!
