Run in the Name of Love 2K & 5K- June 17th. Carmel, CA
The original RUN IN THE NAME OF LOVE was held in Charlottesville, VA, a benefit race memorializing Brian James Love, an outstanding young man from Carmel, CA. Brian was a scholar, musician, athlete, and leader. He was captain of the University of Virginia’s snowboarding team. During team practice one afternoon he hit a tree and died instantly, three months prior to graduation.


Brian had been secretly training to run his first marathon to surprise his “marathoner mom.” In an effort to capture his generous spirit and contagious energy, the students, led by Melissa Georges, honored Brian and his dedication to the university and the community by organizing and participating in the first Run in the Name of Love 5K.
