“The competition this morning was incredible to watch unfold,” said Emily Wang Murphy, 2018 LHH Co-Chair and Partner at Thompson Coburn LLP. “We had our biggest field yet with over 6,000 runners and walkers crossing the finish line. A huge thank you to all the participants and over 100 corporate sponsors from the legal community who, this year, helped us raise over $1M in support of the American Heart Association.”

Runners had their sights set on the existing event records in each division. “Often called the premiere athletic philanthropic event, specifically led by the greater DC legal community, we hope this race continues to grow as a destination for runners and walkers from all around the world,” said 2018 LHH Co-Chair Eric D. Reicin, VP, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of MorganFranklin Consulting, LLC. "Lawyers Have Heart enables employees and friends to give back to the community while improving their personal health and building positive relationships. I am already looking forward to next year's race!"

Since 1991, Lawyers Have Heart has raised over $13 million for AHA and is one of the largest 10K races in the Washington D.C. area each year. Race day events included the 10K Race, 5K Run and Fun Walk, as well as a Post-Race Party with an award ceremony, live music by Soul Stew, a kids zone that featured a face painter and snow cones and a beer garden.
