Support Your Local Olympians On Their Road To London

(Photo by FloTrack)

As the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games looms closer and closer, many of us are trying to find runners who can be idolized and supported while watching the Olympic Games. 
 
FLRunners would like to pay homage to those Olympians who have some athletic ties to the Florida area, whether they trained here, went to school here, or were born here.  Their skills and hard work have brought them to this intense level of competition, and as they make their way to the starting line in London, we will be eagerly watching and cheering for them back home.We want the Florida running community to extend their hands and get behind these exceptional athletes and support them as they head to London for the 2012 Olympic games.
