From the Organizer
Join us in raising funds for our nonprofit, Lion's Hope! Lion's Hope is a nonprofit seeking to raise funds for special needs families who need to purchase adaptive equipment that is not covered by insurance. This equipment can help improve the quality of life for these children. We strive to provide a brighter future for these families and children by lightening the financial burden and giving these children the tools they need to thrive.
In the past year we have helped over 60 families across the US from Alaska to New York! We want to continue to see that number grow and are so grateful for your participation!
The 5k will start at 9 AM, starting at the Grand Meadow High School! You will get a t-shirt. ($30 registration)
Virtual Option- for those wanting to participate but can't physically be there! You will get a T-shirt. ($26 registration- includes shipping)
Fun Run- will start at 10:30 at the Grand Meadow High School Track. This option is for those not wanting to compete in the full 5k, but want a shorter option. ($20 youth size)
