    "QOL is a one of a kind running group! My first run with QOL was tough, but everyone in the group was so encouraging and helped me persist through the run! The events Dr. Rayner plans after each run are fun, unforgettable, and helps create new friendships! His slogan "it's more than the miles" is a true statement because we are a community!"
