EVENT DESCRIPTION

100% of the race proceeds: will benefit Legacy of Hope Restored (LHR), a U.S. based nonprofit that works to feed, educate, and mentor the economically poor and marginalized through meaningful partnerships with schools and organizations in the communities they serve. We currently help support two programs that are empowering children and their families in Cartagena, Colombia and Mendoza, Argentina.

In Cartagena, Colombia: we started a tutoring program to help children falling behind in school get the help that they need to not only survive, but thrive.
In Mendoza, Argentina: we support an educational program that serves at-risk children and families. PEPE's provides educational support, basic needs, and a supportive community for the children and families in their community.

Madison County School Participation: Additionally, we are working to provide the Madison County School with the most participants a $500 donation! Be sure to check the appropriate "team/group" when you register so that your registration will count for your "team/school". If your Madison County School is not listed yet, you can create the team.
