To those who have consistently supported this event over the years, we say THANK YOU! Your support has allowed us to provide meaningful educational support to deserving students who are just as grateful as we are. To the newcomers, we welcome you and thank you in advance for considering and supporting our race. This event is for EVERYONE! We welcome serious athletes as well as the weekend runners and walkers to enjoy a great course while supporting a worthy cause. It's not about the race-it's about bringing Community together to support Education! Every registered 5k Run/Walk finisher will receive a finisher's medal.
We look forward to seeing you there!
