You can. You and your whole family.

If you’re a runner, then you will enjoy this race. You will enjoy our clearly marked route with friendly route directors, and our race atmosphere. This year, we will have chip timing. And there will be prizes. Who doesn’t love prizes?

If you’re not a runner, here’s what I want you to know:

My slogan is RUN, WALK OR CRAWL FOR COMPASSION.

If you’ve never run before, you CAN do it! (See the Couch to 5K training schedule.)

But you’re welcome to walk, or even crawl, across the finish line. I’ll stay as long as it takes you to finish.

And I’ll cheer you on!

This is an event for everyone. And isn’t it time? It’s time for you to accomplish more than you thought you could. It’s time for you encourage others to do the same.

So start training! You might feel like you’re going to die…I know that feeling well…but I have been deeply changed by becoming a runner. Not just changed physically, but changed spiritually.

You will be too! Commit yourself and register today! You might be scared…a lot of us are when we start out…but if you are, this is the perfect event for you!
