After the race, enjoy our health fair and then our evening movie night in the Park - Moana 2 under the stars at Abbie Griffin Park.

All proceeds from the race will benefit ADA Camp Carefree at Lions Camp Pride, helping children with diabetes experience the joy of summer camp in a safe and supportive environment.
