Ray Flynn was a member of the community and a friend to many. He passed away suddenly last year, this race is to honor him and help offset the educational needs for his children. All proceeds will go to The Ray Flynn Foundation. Ray loved his children and loved watching them at all their sporting events. We thought this would be a great way for the community to come together running or walking and have some fun to remember someone so special.
