_RACE #4 OF OLMSTED SPIRIT RACE SERIES_

Date: Sunday, October 13 2024

Time: 10:00AM

Where: Olmsted Falls High School

Start/Finish on Olmsted Falls High School Track

Our Why: We bring together the running/walking community to get some fitness in and raise money for Zoey's Army.

** A long time friend of mine, Chris Lavdas, who also runs the local _PAPA'S PRODUCE STAND_ in Olmsted Falls, has a beautiful baby girl, Zoey, who was born with Krabbe Disease. She has spent her first few months of life in the hospital battling this and will continue to do so for a little while longer before she can be released to go home with her parents. Our goal is to help raise funds for the family to help offset medical costs while Zoey battles.
