Every February, this national race series celebrates Community Options’ founding. Last year, over 11,000 runners nationwide joined us, creating a fantastic crowd and raising funds to provide housing and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. We welcome runners, walkers, participants with baby strollers or wheelchairs and sponsors to be part of our 18th annual race!
