THIS IS A FUNDRAISING EVENT, AND WE WILL BE ASKING FOR DONATIONS FOR THE LOCAL CHARITY (EITHER THROUGH REGISTRATION OR ON RACE DAY).

PLEASE REGISTER EVERYONE WHO WILL BE PARTICIPATING, SO WE CAN PLAN THE EVENT ACCORDINGLY (I.E., KIDS FUN RUN HAS FINISHER MEDALS FOR ALL, SO WE NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY KIDS WILL BE THERE).
