About this event

We’ve got another $12,000 that we want to give to local schools in 2015, and all they gotta do is have fun. Thanks to the generosity of local sponsors, we will award money to schools for fitness and exercise activities based on their students’ participation in Fun Runs, ranging from 1/4 mile to 2 miles.
