Frank McKinney to Speak at Fleet Feet Sports Delray Beach on August 30th

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - Aug. 8, 2016 - PRLog -- Fleet Feet Sports, the local retail leader in supporting the Delray Beach running community, is hosting Delray Beach resident, ultra-marathoner, real estate artist, and best-selling author, Frank McKinney at its store later this month. McKinney's talk aligns with Fleet Feet Sports' national The Power of Running (#TPOR) campaign, which highlights individuals from around the country who have inspired others through the power of running.

While internationally respected and known for his real estate achievements, five best-selling books, and philanthropy, in the running community McKinney has established himself as one of the strongest and toughest ultra-marathoners out there today.

This past July, McKinney finished his seventh Badwater 135-mile Ultramarathon, also known as "the toughest footrace in the world" according to National Geographic, and is joining the Fleet Feet Sports Delray Beach community to share his experience for the first time in front of a group.

When: Tuesday, August 30, 2016 at 6:00 p.m.

Where: Fleet Feet Sports Delray Beach, 1705 S. Federal Highway, Suite A-5, Delray Beach, FL (Directions: On the Northeast corner of Linton Blvd. and Federal Highway in Delray Beach; in the Fresh Market parking lot directly behind Panera.)

"Delray Beach has an amazingly supportive and talented running community," says Nick Stump, owner of Fleet Feet Sports Delray Beach. "That's why having one of our own locals, who has accomplished such as feat as the Badwater 135-mile Ultramarathon, share his experiences and perspective with us first is both humbling and exciting! We are proud and thankful to host the Frank McKinney at our store."
