Welcome to a new episode of Live2Inspire with your host Krishna Lakkineni. Our guest this episode is Payton Comazzetto.
Payton is the Founder & Event Coordinator for Run For Brennan, and Post-Grad student taking Interdisciplinary Studies in Adventure Therapy.
Payton founded Run for Brennan (Brennan’s Ugly Sweater Run) in 2017 in memory of her older brother, Brennan, who was hit and killed by a drunk driver in 1999. The festive 5k family-friendly -run has hosted more than 850 participants and is growing quickly.
Since its inauguration, the event has raised over $27,500 for the Boys and Girls Club’s Power Start program, a breakfast program for at-risk youth. Feeding 217 children for an entire year, Brennan’s Ugly Sweater Run focuses on creating positive mental and physical well-being within the Kamloops community. With over $13,000 in prizes and giveaways in 2019, this is the most affordable run/walk and the only Christmas run in the Interior.
As of 2019, Brennan’s Ugly Sweater Run is the 12th and final race in the Runner’s Sole Kamloops Run Series, and is the second largest running event in Kamloops!
