Captain Spotlight: Clif Light

Share a few things about yourself
I am from Richmond, VA. I began my running journey in the spring of 2013 and I have been running with DRC since the spring of 2014. Since I began running with DRC, I have had many memorable running experiences. From running in Death Valley to the Berlin Marathon, and also taking on a 50k mountain race. I enjoy every race where DRC comes out to support and the cheer squad brings that extra energy to get you to the finish line. As I continue my running journey, my goal is to continue motivating others to become active and have fun doing it. Some things about me - I love all things tech, I am a wing lover, I am a 3x ultramarathoner, and I love all music and a good time. See you in the streets soon, let’s get these miles!

Why do you run DRC?
I run DRC for many reasons but what I enjoy most is running the streets with my homies and meeting new ones.
