Sunday is Special Olympics Day whenever possible and this morning πŸŒ„ Vickey Ritchie is on the road with Brett Petty at the Hokie Half !

Blacksburg, Virginia –

The gang got an early start this morning and were out in full force to support Brett in his efforts !

Brett has been competing in a few events as of late and when he does, he’s never alone. Absolutely love πŸ’˜ the signs !

Justin’s wife Krista and daughter Kylie Ward, runners in their own right but spectators today (pictured below). They and Justin run in Spartan races. Brett has done one with them.

No rest for the weary as the group will still be meeting up for Basketball practice from 3pm to 5pm at Hillsville Elementary School 🏫 later today.

Others cheering Brett on include

Charlotte and Dr David McPherson and Agape and Jeannie and her younger Sister (pictured above). Vicky Town is in the Blue Jacket.

Great to see folks supporting πŸ‘ Brett!

His mentor, Justin Ward was expecting Brett to run it out an 11 minute pace which is faster than he’s been training. He was hoping for a 1030 pace but in actuality he averaged a 10:16 pace, which is excellent.!!
