Chicago Marathon for SONH

By Katie Closs Join Me

Hello All! 

My name is Katie Closs and I am going to be running the 2022 Chicago Marathon this October for Special Olympics NH. 

If you know me at all, you will know that there are a few things in my life that I love dearly. Beyond my family, my pets, my career as an educator, and a strong love of Harry Potter : ) , I have a deep love of running, and Special Olympics NH. 

For those of you that do not know, I have been a SONH volunteer since high school. I have been a Unified Partner in Basketball and the Triathlon. I have worked swimming events, ski events, track meets, and so much more. I am a 15 year Penguin Plunger and such a passionate believer in all that Special Olympics does for our community! 

I am also an avid runner. I run year round, in all temperatures and weather, and times of day. I have even been know to run through the night when I race a Ragnar Relay!  Recently, I have started to put more effort into running marathons and when I heard I could run to support Special Olympics NH I was thrilled. This is a beautiful marriage of two of my greatest passions and I could not be more excited to get started.

Please consider donating to my fundraising efforts. My base goal is $2,500 but hope to go far beyond that. 

Thanks for your support and if you see me running on the streets of Merrimack this summer, give me honk, throw me a water, and say hi!!! 

Let's do this!
