NOTE FOR PRESS: The Running Hope Through
America team will do our best to connect Lisa Smith Batchen with you
for onsite interviews during the course of the run. Because of the
intense nature of the run and the length of time it requires on a
daily basis though, Lisa may not be able to stop for interviews.
If you are interested in coming out to cover the run in a particular
city, please refer to the schedule page for specific routes and location
information. Before heading out, it is best to call us and we will
do our best to advise you on the best times to come and potential
interview opportunities. Each run begins around 5:30 a.m. and lasts
12 to 14 hours with breaks woven in as needed throughout the day.
