MORE THAN A RACE
Every registration helps our girls get one step closer to an incredible opportunity.
The Paper City Knights are a local girls soccer team preparing to represent our community at the Disney International Cup in Orlando in July 2027. Funds raised through Race for Goals will help offset the travel expenses required to get these young athletes there.
Our girls are working hard on the field to reach their goal. We're asking our community to run and walk beside them.
Bring your running club. Create a team with your coworkers. Grab your soccer family. Walk with your friends. Challenge yourself to a 5K.
You don't have to be a runner to be part of their journey.
