The Lutzie 43 Foundation is excited to host the fifth annual Road Race again on August 3rd at Lassiter High School in Marietta. The Road Race is special to the Lutzie 43 Foundation and Lutzenkirchen family, as it was one of the first events the foundation hosted shortly after Philip’s passing in 2014. The Road Race is an opportunity for the community and supporters to come together and remember Philip’s legacy, fellowship, and character. Here is everything you need to know before the Road Race!
