"This event not only promotes health and wellness but also brings our community together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need.

We invite everyone to join us for a day of fun and fitness while we celebrate our loved ones."
Participants have the option to choose between a five-mile or 10-mile route, whether they prefer to stroll leisurely through the enchanting private woodlands or sprint to the finish line.
