On November 26, put on your gleaux gear and race down to River Ranch Town Square for a night of family fun that makes a direct impact on the lives of local families fighting, surviving, and living with cancer.
It doesn't matter what race you sign up for, everyone who registers is welcome to participate in both races.
Your registration fee includes a gleaux-in-the-dark T-Shirt, a variety of gleaux gear, and a food and drink wristband for the official after-party.
