Our Mission through this Race is threefold:
- Remembering what our community went through and honor those we lost.
- Celebrating the resilience and progress we’ve made through working together and with the help of wonderful volunteers from all over the United States.
- Encouraging hope and collective action for brighter days ahead Please consider supporting us for a meaningful 5K run (or walk), knowing each step contributes to restoring a beloved community space. Together, we can rebuild Riverside Park and nurture hope for our town’s future.
