Our super-sassy New Braunfels Orange Leaf franchisee, Nusha Pelicano, is passionate about creating a healthier community through exercise and good eating habits. She’s a fast-talkin’ running enthusiast who decided to get her community moving. In an effort to promote her store, and an improved healthier lifestyle for her fellow New Braunfels neighbors, Pelicano hosted a Half Marathon, complete with Orange Leaf jerseys and branded medals.

On July 9, over 250 runners crossed the finish line – a number Pelicano said she can easily triple next year. With a lower entry fee, the race was not intended to be a moneymaker, but rather a fun event to rally the community and inspire healthier habits.

Winner, Neal Lucas completed in a speedy 1:16:00 and went home with a one of a kind Orange Leaf trophy. The day was a huge success filled with friends, fun and, of course, plenty of America’s Frozen Yogurt™.
