Description: We welcome you to the 14th edition of our great event which we continue to hold at the Walnut Beach Pavilion! Because the race is in October, the Fall leaves will have begun to change. It's a beautiful time of year to get out and enjoy the crisp air. And you'll be helping an amazing cause! We're also bringing back our exciting gift certificate raffle this year that will include many local restaurants. Our course is designed for all abilities of runners and walkers. Flat scenic roads except for one minor incline at the beginning that start and finish near the beach. You’ll be able to run fast, or easy, or walk comfortably at any pace. There is plentiful parking available in the Beach parking lot.

This Year's Project: A Kitagwenda secondary school with about 2,000 girls and boys have depended on a very dangerous stream to provide their water needs. The stream has claimed the lives of several students and locals as they stooped to fetch the dirty water. We can help by drilling a new well and constructing a water delivery system. With your assistance we can change the lives of so many.

One Mile Walk: Untimed event. No awards.

Kids Fun Run: Free for 12 years of age and under. Approximately 1/10 mile course.
