We are overjoyed to have the opportunity to host the Season of Hope Run event once again. The race will begin promptly at 9 AM and finish when the last racer crosses the finish line. This gorgeous run will lead you down the majestic Hawthorne trail where wildlife is abundant. Registrations for both the 5k and 15k courses are available.
