Safety First: Your safety and well-being are our top priorities as we prepare for race day tomorrow, Saturday, March 15, 2025.
Weather Conditions: Unfortunately, we are facing two distinct weather systems, with the first impacting our area between 3 AM and 5 AM, followed by another around 9 AM.
Risk Assessment: Given the predicted thunderstorms, high winds, lightning, and heavy rain during the early morning hours, our race team would be placed at significant risk during site setup.
Decision Made: For the safety of all participants, volunteers, and staff, we have made the difficult decision to transition the Special Kids Race to a virtual run.
🕒 Run Virtually with Us Until March 23rd!
Participate Anytime: All registrants can complete their participation virtually between now and March 23, 2025.
No Extra Steps: You do not need to take additional action to be a virtual participant—just run your chosen distance and share your experience with us!
