Organiser's description

Join the Boys & Girls Club in "Running Towards Great Futures"! Keystone Club is the ultimate teen program for Huntington County youth. This program provides leadership development opportunities and activities in three focus areas: academic success, career preparation, and community service. Keystone provides youth with experiences like attending the National Keystone Conference where they get to meet Boys & Girls Club members from around the world! Proceeds for this race go directly to the Keystone Club as they pursue opportunities to become caring, productive, responsible citizens of Huntington County.

The Boys & Girls Club is excited to bring this long-requested event back to the 175th Heritage Days. The race will start at Huntington University and runners will be cheered on by the parade crowd as they run down Jefferson Street and are greeted at the Boys & Girls Club for refreshments. Transportation will be provided (details to come).

Special thanks to our Gold Sponsor, Parkview Huntington Hospital, and our Silver Sponsors, MidWest America Federal Credit Union and Angela Becker Orthodontics!

*Because this event coincides with the Heritage Days parade, participants must be able to complete the course in no more than 1.5 hours.
