We're finally bringing you another #MeettheCCRteam post! Meet Ben Pickett - our store lead in Bel Air. We're surprised that he stood still long enough for us to take this photo because Ben is constantly in motion around the shop, making him a ringer in our annual step competition. ° His role - Ben transitioned from Timonium to managing Bel Air in 2018 and has brought awesome changes with him. His secret talents include racking shoes and checking in orders at lightening speed! ° How he started - Ben began working in Timonium in 2013 after he was done running for UMBC. He followed in his brother Josh's footsteps who was already working for CCR and was the manager in Bel Air before Ben. ° His fav parts of the job - helping people and racking shoes! ° Fun facts - 1. Ben ran competitively for 3 months with a collapsed lung. 2. He & his wife Holly (fellow fast runner and former CCR employee) rescued a cat from the Timonium dumpster. 3. Ben became a Dad with the arrival of his son Nate last October (swipe for a throwback). ° Thank you, Ben, for all that you do in Bel Air and for CCR as a whole.

Congratulations to our four finalists of the 2019 Hero Campaign presented by Brooks - Tom Ceiri, Val Jenkins, Donald Slimmer and Jessica Santora-Sikorski. Our overall winner was Tom Ceiri. All of these individuals have made incredible contributions to their local communities and are true everyday heroes. Thank you for all that you do. It was an honor to recognize these four today at the Mercy Run to Remember 5K & 11K presented by Brooks. As always, congratulations to all race participants and thank you to the volunteers, events team and members of the Baltimore Police Department and Baltimore Fire Department who made this special event possible.
🇺🇲The Mercy Run to Remember 5K & 11K presented by Brooks has a special place in our hearts. Planning for the first race began before Josh & Kara opened the first CCR shop in Timonium. It was hosted on a Wednesday morning, on 9/11/2002. Josh explains why he was determined to host the race on this day in Baltimore, "my reasoning was simple. This day was bigger than any potential inconvenience. As a city, we needed to be there together on the day. We needed to remember the day and we needed to thank our first responders on the day." The race has since been moved to a Sunday so more officers can participate in and support the event. Every year we witness firefighters running in full gear, runners carrying flags for the duration of the race and the Baltimore Community coming together. ° The Run to Remember has allowed us to raise more than $350,000 for the Run to Remember Fund at the Baltimore Community Foundation to support the Baltimore Police Foundation and the Baltimore Fire Department. ° We hope you will join us for the 18th annual Run to Remember this Sunday. The 11K will run through Fort McHenry for the first time. ° Click the link in our bio to register.
