Join us after the race for a full morning of celebration on the patio featuring live music, a full bar for adults, and a spacious outdoor area for kids to enjoy. A brunch menu will be available, along with a raffle offering a variety of prizes throughout the morning. Families, participants, and supporters are encouraged to stay and enjoy the festivities as we wrap up the event by announcing race winners and recognizing top finishers. It’s a great opportunity to relax, connect with the community, and celebrate a successful race morning together.
**All proceeds will support PACES (Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society), which advances research and awareness for Long QT Syndrome and other heart rhythm disorders, as well as the Patrick Joyce Fund at St. Edward High School, which provides scholarships in Patrick’s memory. Together, these efforts promote medical research, education, and lasting community impact.**
