On Saturday, August 29th groSolar’s relay team “Speed of Solar” participated in the 4th annual CHaD Half Marathon. This was a fund raising event for the  Children’sHospital at Dartmouth that groSolar proudly sponsored. The CHaD Half Marathon was a fun filled event regardless of the less than desirable conditions, the event included a walking course, the half marathon itself, as well as an attempt to break the world record for most people dressed up as superheroes in one place – this record attempt was to signify the many heros that help to save children’s lives each day at the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth. The Guinness Book of World Records people were on hand to count up each and every super hero – the record was previously held at 106 people and was successfully broken with a stifling number of 1,016 people dressed up as superheroes on the Dartmouth Green in Hanover, NH.

Team “Speed of Solar” consisted of team Captain Dawn “The Princess of Power“ Martin – Marketing Coordinator here at groSolar, Gaelan “Able to Leap Tall Buildings in A Single Bound“  Brown – VP of Marketing, and Noah “Faster Than A Speeding Bullet” Tuthill – Solar Design Engineer. Team “Speed of Solar” completed the 13.1 mile race in 1 hour 58 minutes and 33 seconds, finishing 59th out of 98 relay teams averaging a 9 minute 3 second mile.

groSolar is proud to have such an active and positive roll in the community and employees willing to go out and punish themselves in the remnant effects of a tropical storm for such a good cause!

Thank you team “Speed of Solar”! We are proud of you!
