The Savage Seven was started by Chuck Savage in 2010 out of a passion for running marathons. Chuck himself has ran over 450 marathons and is a member of the 50 States Marathon Club.

Chuck saw the advantages of running at the Marjorie Harris Carr Greenway Trail since it has a five mile loop on a paved pathway through some beautiful wooded scenery. Chuck decided to help out his fellow marathoners and help them to obtain seven marathons or half marathons in only seven days.

There is also a 50K and a Half Marathon
