Kids' Half Mile Fun Run
The 2009 Kids' Fun Run is dedicated to Anne Notch who was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer while pregnant with her third child. The Kids' Fun Run is not only a place for our younger runners and walkers to show their stuff, but also a time for us to honor an extraordinary parent who is an inspiration to his or her children and to many others as well.


Form a Team
An Official Team is group of 10 or more family, friends, co-workers, classmates, athletes or anyone else you can recruit. Team members can be a combination of walkers, runners and kids. Be creative and make your team really stand out. Lots of great prizes and incentives in 2009.  A Team Kit will be sent to the Team Captain to help you get started or contact us for more info.
