When the Steady Strides 2021, presented by Supernus race committee met in January of this year to plan for this year’s event, we worried that we would be facing real challenges in trying to hold an in-person race in the second year of a pandemic. We pushed the date of the race back to October once again, in hopes of a safer gathering. As Spring turned to Summer and Summer to Fall, we saw that many race and walk events were either being cancelled again or resulted in around a 50% participation rate.
