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. However, because of the intense nature of the run and the length of time it requires on a daily basis, Lisa may only be available for interviews before or after the run.
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, please contact 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.
