From the Organizer
The Miles for Mary 5K Run and Walk began in 2013 to honor the memory of Mary Park and a growing number of other beloved members of our community. It also serves as a fundraiser for brain cancer research while raising awareness in a scenic and fun setting.
This year, we are observing the 14th series of Miles for Mary, which has raised over $850,000.
Community education leads to greater awareness of brain cancer and the importance of raising funds for more effective treatments.
