Organiser's description

This will be our annual Walk for Life with our second annual 5K. Our course will begin at the Raynolds/Ash Street bridge in the parking lot across from the Rec District building. The race will run West this year from that point, towards the surgery center & we will have it clearly marked out for walkers vs runners (5K). This is a fundraiser but it is also an event to raise awareness for the pregnancy center and medical clinic. We will have some kids basic kids games set up in the parking lot, as we did last year. We will offer bottled water and light snacks for our participants in the event. This event will be followed by our Infant & Child Loss Memorial event to honor those lost to miscarriage, abortion, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth or early infant loss.

On-site Check-in will begin promptly at 10am with walkers released at 11am and runners at 11:30.

Those registered to participate in the event will receive a limited edition event t-shirt that you will choose the size for when registering. If you register after the cut-off date, you may choose from one of our past years' t-shirts that we will have at a side table near on-site check-in the day of the event. If you'd like to participate in the memorial event as an observer, please stay after the Walk is completed. If you'd like to receive a memorial stone for a loss, please register under that event. We are looking forward to an amazing time together this year with much to celebrate!
