The Imogene Project

To Imogene, a Flagstaff Love Letter

For many years, Flagstaff has sent more runners to Colorado’s Imogene Pass Run than any other town—including any town in Colorado. To Imogene, a Flagstaff Love Letter was the first book created by Soulstice Publishing. This book project was sparked by our inspiring running community and its unique relationship with that iconic trail race between Ouray and Telluride. To Imogene, a Flagstaff Love Letter is filled with personal stories, photos, and illustrations that intimately show what the Imogene race means to Flagstaff, and in turn what Flagstaff gives to the race.

For a sneak peak at the content of this special book, check out our slideshow.

BLE Flagstaff

To give back to the community that is making this book possible, we’ve chosen to donate 10% of net sales to BLE Flagstaff. This nonprofit organization performs random acts of kindness with the intent to make a positive difference in the community. These acts can take many unexpected forms and include anyone. BLE Flagstaff believes that through kindness, we can all “pay it forward” and help create a culture of giving that can benefit all of us.
