This cherished local tradition, sponsored by BFIT CrossFit, promises an exciting day filled with energy and camaraderie. The event kicks off the annual Apple Blossom Parade, creating a festive atmosphere for participants and spectators alike.
Not only will runners and walkers tackle the traditional 5K distance of 3.1 miles, but this year's event brings even more excitement with unique team challenges. Join in the fun with the Tandem Run, where pairs of runners must stick together while completing the course with a resistance band, or take on the Heavy Burden Run, where teams of four will work together to carry a sandbag to the finish line. With different weight categories for male, female, and co-ed teams, there's a challenge for everyone! Plus, this event serves a great cause, as proceeds will benefit Sisters of Solace, a sanctuary for women overcoming trauma, human trafficking, and addiction. Don't miss this exhilarating day of running, teamwork, and community spirit!
