From the Organizer

This special event is more than a walk/run — it’s a living tribute to Alan Robert McKendall, III, This fun, family friendly event will feature a free 1 mile run for those who are 9 and under before the official 1 mile/5K walk and run. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a first-time participant, or joining with family and friends, this event offers a unique opportunity to honor someone special while supporting individuals with Autism and their families.

"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever." (1 Corinthians 9:24–25)
