Jeff Spires Memorial Run. Half Ironman Shakeout
This year, our Augusta Half Ironman Shakeout Run will mean a little more.
With the unexpected passing of our friend Jeff Spires, we will come together Saturday morning to run in his memory and honor the incredible impact he had on our running and triathlon community.
Jeff played an instrumental role in helping bring the Ironman run course to the North Augusta Greeneway—his hometown and a place he knew and loved so well. He was part of the group that worked together to choose the best route and, in true Jeff fashion, helped lead the way.
Jeff would have been right here with us for this event, helping runners preview portions of the course, just as he had done before. Last year, he was out there running alongside everyone, pointing out parts of the course, encouraging athletes, and simply being Jeff.
It’s hard to imagine this event without him, so this year we’ll run it for him.
Saturday, September 26th
8:00 AM
Fleet Feet North Augusta
210 Georgia Ave., Suite 105
North Augusta, SC 29841
Whether you knew Jeff personally, raced alongside him, were encouraged by him, or simply want to support a community he gave so much to, we hope you’ll join us.
HOKA and Implus will be joining us with demos, and food will be provided by Bowl Boss and Beanie Ben’s! Come get your legs moving before race day, preview portions of the course, grab some food, and spend the morning together with our running and triathlon community.
We’ll run, share some stories, and remember a friend who made a lasting impact on so many.
We miss you, Jeff. This one is for you.
