"Credit unions make such a positive difference in their communities, and the financial lives of their members, so completing the SACTOWN10 Miracle Mile as a family was a fun way for us to support credit unions' efforts in making a positive difference in communities and the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals."From Richard Walter, Lending Protection Manager, after running the 10 mile race:
“Exciting to see so many credit unions out for a good cause! What better way to show our strength in numbers for a good cause while simultaneously strengthening our bodies and souls?”

“It was awesome. It’s always great to see so many credit unions supporters at this even year after year.”From Lisa Coates, Lending Consultant, who ran the 5-mile race:
“We were proud to be doing our part on the West coast for CUs for Kids and CMN Hospitals while the East coast team was doing it, too. I’m happy to say I finished in an acceptable time for me and wasn’t swept up off the road by the clean-up crew! LOL!”
