Avive Solutions Partners with Good Life Halfsy

In an exciting announcement, Avive Solutions, Inc. has been named the First Aid Sponsor for the upcoming 2026 Good Life Halfsy, which proudly holds the title of Nebraska’s largest half marathon. This renowned event, now in its 13th annual celebration, expects to draw in an impressive 9,500 registered runners alongside over 20,000 spectators who will line the course to cheer them on. In addition to fostering community spirit and encouraging healthy living, the Good Life Halfsy is set to bring about a significant $3.4 million economic impact to the region.

As part of this sponsorship, Avive will deliver a total of 25 Avive Connect AED®s, strategically placed to ensure quick access for emergencies, underscoring the event’s commitment to participant safety. The integration of these Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) into the event planning emphasizes the priority placed on health and safety amidst the excitement of race day.

Ensuring Safety on the Course

Jason Bakewell, Co-Race Director of the Good Life Halfsy, emphasized, "The safety of our runners, spectators, and volunteers is always a top priority at Pink Gorilla Events. With thousands of people coming together for the Good Life Halfsy, having the right safety resources in place is an important part of our event planning. We're excited to partner with Avive to bring additional AEDs to the course and strengthen our race-day emergency preparedness efforts."

The Avive AEDs are easily transportable, weighing only 2.1 pounds, making them not only the lightest but also the smallest FDA-approved AED currently available. This design allows event medical volunteers to carry these devices conveniently along the course. Features include an intuitive touchscreen and real-time CPR guidance, ensuring that even those with little to no training can utilize them effectively in case of cardiac emergencies.

A Community-Focused Initiative

The Good Life Halfsy, produced by Pink Gorilla Events, has established itself as a significant contributor to local charities, having raised over $1.1 million for various nonprofit organizations to date. Through this partnership with Avive, both entities are committed to giving back to the community while supporting the health and well-being of individuals participating in the event.

As a celebration of fitness and community, the Good Life Halfsy focuses not only on the physical aspect of running but also on its ripple effects of community engagement and philanthropic support. This event encapsulates the spirit of Nebraska, encouraging local involvement and broadening awareness about health initiatives.
