SAN FRANCISCO – November 06, 2026 -- Avive Solutions, Inc. will deploy 25 Avive Connect AEDs as First Aid Sponsor of the 2026 Good Life Halfsy, Nebraska's largest half marathon, where 9,500 registered runners and more than 20,000 spectators are expected.
The 13th annual event in Lincoln, Nebraska, is projected to generate a $3.4 million economic impact for the region. Producer Pink Gorilla Events has generated more than $1.1 million in donations to local charities and nonprofits through its races.
Medical volunteers will carry Avive AEDs along the 13.1-mile course
The event's medical volunteers will carry the devices, putting them in the hands of trained responders along the route. A Good Life Halfsy co-race director said the added units are meant to strengthen race-day emergency preparedness for runners, spectators and volunteers.
Avive's 2.1-pound device targets fast response with minimal training
Avive describes its AED as the smallest and lightest FDA-approved unit on the market, at 2.1 pounds. The device has a touchscreen, real-time CPR guidance and visual instructions, so responders without prior training can use it.
Universal electrode pads work on both adults and children, so users do not need to buy separate pediatric keys or pads. To treat a child between 1 and 8 years old, a responder presses the Child button.
