The Cause?
In the cut 5k was inspired by a group of men to help move our community toward a more healthy way of living. What better way to do that than with the objective of completing a 5k. While there is a race, the event also has partnered with health care groups and local personal training and fitness facilities to bring about a change. Come run with us. See you at the start line.
Without you there is no us. Thank you to our sponsors for your support.
