Several community members ran 62.5 miles to support Brycen Killion, who was paralyzed after a dirt bike accident.

The event raised funds to help purchase an adaptive mountain bike for Killion. The run started at midnight in Templeton and finished at Mulligan's Bar and Grill in Avila Beach, where people enjoyed food, drinks, and live music.

Organizers chose the 62.5-mile distance to honor Killion’s motocross number, which has now become a symbol of unity and strength for the community.
