Since 2000, the ACE community has upheld a tradition that combines community building and service to Catholic schools with sheer strength and willpower. The ACE Marathon has been an annual event since its inaugural year when the ACE community gathered in Los Angeles to raise money for Our Mother of Sorrows School.
Not only does this event raise funds for some of the most under-resourced schools in the program, but it also brings together the ACE community, bonded under the difficult challenge of running 26.2 miles.
This year Fort Worth, TX will be hosting the ACE Marathon on February 24th and the money raised will go to support a school in the Diocese of Fort Worth as well as another in Denver. Please contact Joe Hettler (ACE 12) at jhettler@nd.edu if you are interested in participating in the marathon.
