I remembered you today Lane as we start thinking about getting back to live racing again. Races will NEVER be the same without you starting us off! Missing you so much 😢

Lane was a giant in the running community, and as the "Voice of MRTC", instantly recognizable to all runners. He will be missed immeasurably.
I have known Lane my 20 years of running! He has been an inspiration and friend! RIP Lane! Sharon Chandler
