Thank you for caring about kids and education – YOU ROCK!
As a runner or walker in this race you’ll help us raise the funds needed to support and grow our kids’ education programming!
The bigger this race gets the more money raised for our Inside Out Club program, which is developing children with character inside and out. This program teaches children to be accepting, kind, charitable, collaborative and more. So, grab your friends and family and come on out!
You can take part as an individual or you can put together a team of 4 or more and compete against other teams! Grab your speedy kids, parents, grandparents as prizes are awarded to the two fastest multi-generational teams (see scoring below). This twist gives the race a true community feel.
Additionally, the largest team regardless of speed will win a $10 donation per person on the team to the charity or school the team chooses! Check out team rules below!
