From the Organizer
If you are unable to participate in this year’s 5K/Fun Run, you can still Support the Cause or you can purchase a gift registration for a runner or walker who is unable to afford the fee.
There are options to run or walk the 5K on an accessible route so everyone can join in the fun. The day starts with a Fun Run for kids ages 9 and under.
Get a team of co-workers, family and friends together and join the Team Challenge. A minimum of 5 runners/walkers per team. The finish times of the top five runners from each team will be combined. The team with the lowest combined score (time) will receive top honors.
If you’re running/walking, ask others to join your Team and collect donations. Team with the highest amount of collected donations for Florissa will be recognized at the event. By participating, you will leave your impression on Florissa Center!
