Your organization or business can help by hosting one of the rest stops along the route of the Miracle Match Marathon. The objective is to provide the runners with the fluids they need along the course as well as encouragement. The rest stop with the most spirit will be awarded the annual Miracle Match Marathon Spirit Award at the conclusion of the marathon. There will be two Spirit Awards - one for the most spirited rest stop along the half-marathon route, and one for the most spirited rest stop along the full marathon route.
