Race Information

Bring your family, friends, teammates, small group, or colleagues to run dressed as your favorite fictional or non-fictional family (think Flinstones, Jetsons, Clarks, Addams...the sky's the limit!) and partner with us to work towards meeting the complex needs of local children and families. All proceeds will provide scholarships for individual and family counseling, as well as caregiver training and coaching for families raising children from hard places, such as children with foster care involvement. A special prize will be given for the best costumes!
