Join us for the Run of the Century 5K & Fun Run, hosted by CENTURY 21 Golden Service Realty & Auction, Inc.! 🏃♀️🎃
This year, we're putting a Halloween twist on our annual race! Runners and walkers of all ages are invited to come out, dress up, and enjoy a fun morning with our community. Costumes are encouraged, and we'll even have a group costume contest, so grab your friends, family, coworkers, or running crew and get creative!
Most importantly, we're running for a great local cause. Proceeds from this year's Run of the Century will benefit Community Connections Food Pantry, helping provide food and support to families right here in our community.
Whether you're racing for a new personal best, walking with friends, bringing the family for the Fun Run, or simply coming out to support the cause, we'd love to have you join us.
