> Hi Mr. Sears,
>
> I work with Velo Amis, based in Newark, Delaware. We are a group that is sponsored by Trail Creek Outfitters to organize running races that benefit charitable causes. These races are collectively known as the Trail Creek Series.
>
> Lauri Webber of Velo Amis informed me that Hunter Biden approached Ed Camille, the owner of Trail Creek Outfitters (located in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania) about putting on a race in memory of Beau Biden. As a native Delawarean, Beau Biden’s beliefs, his foundation and his memory are very important to me, and also to the founders of Velo Amis. We have been unable to reach Hunter to follow up on his idea and are reaching out to you, as we are hoping to make Hunter’s idea a reality. With Beau’s history of being a runner, his ties to the area, and his incredible service to our community and country, Velo Amis is interested in organizing a race to benefit the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children.

> I started working with Velo Amis in 2015 after a friend passed away in a car accident. We organized a 10K race in Enoch Lee's memory and raised over $6000 for local scholarships for Newark High School students, as well as organizations Enoch was a part of, such as Aetna Hose Hook & Ladder, in Newark, Delaware. All of the Trail Creek Series races are $10 for participants under 19 years of age, making it accessible to runners of all ages. This year,we will be implementing $10 registration for veterans and active military as well.
>
> The Trail Creek Series has five races throughout the springtime. We would like to make the second race, slated for March 26, at Granogue in Wilmington, Delaware a race in memory of Beau. In 2011, Beau himself ran a race on this course (though his name is listed as “Bean Riden” – one of our young volunteers couldn’t read his handwriting and didn’t realize who he was), and was familiar with the property. It is a challenging course, but it is the best location to organize a race as it is private property owned by Irenee DuPont. It also has a helipad, making it accessible for medical support if necessary.

> Velo Amis and Trail Creek Outfitters would love to have the opportunity to organize the Granogue race in honor of Beau. The Series website is located at http://trailcreekseries.org/ .
