It's almost race time.... If you haven't already heard, this year for Luke Day, we are focusing on Grace Rides. Grace Rides, owned by the legendary Steve and Sherry Hall, is an equine-assisted therapy center geared toward special needs. These needs can be physical, cognitive, and/or emotional. That's why the ages of service range from 4 years to over 80. Their Horses to Heroes program is designed exclusively for our military and law enforcement. Join us Saturday, June 13 at 7:30 am for an early morning run or walk and meet some amazing folks serving our community.
We will start our 5k training program on Monday, May 4th for those who are interested. We will post the details and an accountability space as well.
