The Grant Playground and Rec Association are happy to announce that the Dan Robinson Memorial 5K Run/Walk will be returning in 2021!

This event is held in memory of the late Dan Robinson whose love for God, country, and the community was well-known in Grant. Dan was instrumental in the formation of GPRA and laid the groundwork for the development of Kidtopia playground. The proceeds from this event will benefit Kidtopia and help support its continued needs. The course begins and ends at Grant Town Park and travels through the town's neighborhoods. All proceeds from the race help fund the continued needs of Kidtopia Playground.
