From the Organizer
This is our 9th year and we continue to improve it a little more every year. This in person run will be on the trails of Tabor Park which consists of paved and some are gravel trails. The in person 5k and a 1-mile races will be a fun run and there are also virtual options ranging from the 5K distance up to the full marathon distance. With your 5k race registration and/or virtual registration, you will receive a finishers coin designed for this year run! We cannot stop fighting for cures for cancer. As Danny Thomas said, "No kid should die in the dawn of life." No family should have to worry about bills or whether there is a cure or not for their child! All parents need to focus on is being there for their child as they fight for their lives! Let's help ease that burden by raising the money the doctors need to save the children!
