After the race, participants are encouraged to stick around for the Rooftop Reindeer Party at the National Veterans Memorial and Museum and enjoy FREE Chick-fil-A!
Your participation in this event is truly what allows NC4K to spread joy and magic to our families this holiday season. Together, we are showing these families that…No Kid Fights Cancer Alone.
