This years race is honoring Denny and Marti Stephan.  This couple is well known throughout the running and walking community of the Ohio Valley.  Their dedication and assistance with local races and charitable causes is difficult to put into words. 
When we decided to start The Barkcamp Race seven years ago, this couple was who we were advised to contact on how to start a race.  The Barkcamp Race wants to thank Denny and Marti for their support, encouragement, knowledge and for just being overall great friends to us.  With their initial advice, LOOK HOW WE HAVE GROWN IN SEVEN YEARS.       WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They have also dedicated themselves throughout the years to the Ohio Valley Runners and Walkers Club, which is a big part of all the local race events in the area.
Please help us recognize and honor Denny and Marti and offer our support, thoughts and thanks for what they do for us.
Denny and Marti,
We love you both and are so proud to know you and call you dear friends.  Bless you both.

Now I almost forgot, without Denny, the Ohio Valley would have never had his  most awesome signature race. The beloved   Denny's Intermodal Race.  Which was appreciated and loved by all.  Hey Denny, maybe you will bring it back!!!!
