Break Free 5/10k Run & Walk 2024

LET'S GET COLOURFUL!

You can expect to enjoy a fun day with The Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation alongside family and friends. The day will start with you easing into registration, powering up through a fun warm up, and then we will catch a glimpse of you as you dash out of the starting line in a colour cloud. Run, walk, or dance your way through the course making memories along the way. And don't forget to bring your pooch along - we are dog friendly as long as you can say the same for your canine pal.

You can expect to get a little wet and come out a little... okay A LOT more colorful than when you started, all for the love of community and helping us Break Free from DV!
