January Lotus Flower Run

To blossom, the lotus flower must first grow through mud and murky water.
Its beginning is not gentleyet it blooms anyway.

Each morning, the lotus answers the call of the sun.
It rises above the surface, opens its petals, and remains untouched by what lies beneath.
At night, it closes and sinks below the water, restingonly to rise again with the dawn.

Like the lotus, you are not defined by the darkness you move through.
You can grow through difficulty.
You can rise again and again.
You can shine like newbecause there is something within you that the world cannot reach or take away.

This race reminds participants that even through difficult times, growth and serenity are possible.
