Trophies will be given to top 3 male and female finishers and a trophy will be given to our first participant to cross pushing a stroller.
This event will be so much fun for the entire family!! In addition, this is our nonprofit's biggest event of the year to raise money to get kiddos here in the area into sports who otherwise would not have the opportunity. Our goal in 2025 is to get 250 kids involved. That is roughly $50,000.00 in generated revenue so please make a donation and tell your friends and family to join us!! They can walk so there's no excuse!! Please visit our website to learn more: CREE Cares Website
