Fit & Able invites you to be part of the 8th running of Fostering Footsteps for Bright Futures to support the Wake Tech Foundation's Fostering Bright Futures program at the North Scott Wake Tech campus. Race either a 5K, 10K, or Fun Mile race around a beautiful campus and support a great cause.
The Fostering Bright Futures (FBF) program is a student success program that addresses the overwhelming need for a comprehensive support structure to assist our community's foster youth in making the transition from Wake County's foster care program to independent young adulthood. The objective of the FBF program is to eliminate barriers that would typically derail foster youth from meeting educational and life goals. By providing financial, academic, and social support, the FBF program helps these young men and women learn the skills they need to live as independent adults and get the education needed to secure gainful and meaningful employment.
All races will have a mass start at 10:00 AM for the 5K / 10K and 10:15 AM for the Fun Mile and the course closes for all races at 11:30 AM (IN-PERSON RACE DAY SCHEDULE [https://www.fosteringfootsteps.com/Race/FosteringFootstepsforBrightFutures/Page-5]). Please consider your race pace when deciding which event to run. _* For any participants who feel they may need some extra time, please contact us at [email protected]. _
