Thanks to our Donors, our 2021 Runner’s kit is ready! We have the usual t-shirt, and finishing medal, but we also have things that every runner needs in a virtual running event. There is an N95 Covid Mask , a bandage package (that every runner should have) key chains and pens and pins and literature on how everyone qualifies to be a Legion Member, (Am I being too subtle here?) and you will also receive the tote bag in the picture together with magnets with important info on them, writing pads etc.!

Registration continues to April 23 at 11:59PM so by all means encourage your friends and family to get involved. Group discounts and refundable registration fees apply until close of registration and children 12 and under are free.
