Be the Buffalo Memorial Run for Digits and Needle

"Be the Buffalo" is an commemorative endurance event inspired by the courage and community spirit of two beloved runners, Dianne Sullivan Wells ("Digits") and Edith Edy Pearson ("Needle"), who left lasting impacts in Lexington and beyond. Following their passings, this event celebrates their love of running and commitment to facing life's storms together. Every year, a portion of the race's proceeds is donated to a charity chosen by their families, reflecting the values these inspiring women held dear. Community participation, whether by running, walking, or supporting through donations, embodies the event's spirit of unity and resilience.
