Event summary
Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the 12th annual Finley 5K for SIDS, taking place on Saturday, September 16, 2023, in Georgetown, Scott! This inspiring event aims to raise awareness and funds for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) research, honoring the memory of Finley William Ellison, who tragically passed away due to SIDS. Last year, over 1,500 participants joined the cause, and this year, you can participate either in-person or virtually from anywhere in the world!

Join us for a day filled with purpose, community, and hope as we run together to make a difference!
