HAVE MERCY! SHARE MERCY! Remember MERCY!
We're going VIRTUAL this year! Please join us from wherever you are!
The 8th Annual Mercy Run 5k/10k/ Fun Run is a celebration of Life! The race celebrates the lives of children who have passed and their surviving siblings (young and old) by running/walking an energizing loop, or two, at a location near you! This virtual event will take place over a two week period and allow you to upload your results on Race Roster. We still have t-shirts for sale, medals for all finishers, and prizes for winners in age groups!
The Mercy Run benefits TeamMercy.org, a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to supporting siblings in families who have recently endured the death of a child. Proceeds are used to heal, nurture, protect, and safeguard children affected by the death of a brother or sister through age appropriate Grief Packets and Mercy’s Gift. Whether you run, walk, prance or stroll, you’ll find mercy in every step. 5k/10K or Fun Run: You’ve got this: Mercy Endures Forever! Sign up TODAY!
