From the Organizer
Join us for a fun, family-friendly event dedicated to making a lasting difference in the lives of young athletes throughout our community. Whether you're an experienced runner, casual walker, or simply want to support a great cause, every step you take helps the JB12 Foundation provide athletic opportunities to children who might otherwise be unable to participate due to financial barriers. Proceeds from the race help fund sports equipment, registration fees, uniforms, camps, and other resources that allow young athletes to build confidence, develop character, and experience the life-changing benefits of sports.
The JB12 Foundation believes that every child deserves the opportunity to play, compete, and grow—regardless of their family's financial circumstances. Together, we can ensure that more young athletes have the chance to pursue their dreams both on and off the field. Bring your family, invite your friends, and help us Make Today Count. Every registration, donation, and sponsorship directly supports our mission of empowering the next generation through athletics.
