We welcome everyone to participate in our 5k, whether you have a connection to donation and transplant, or want to get out and be active. This event is for all ages and abilities. You can walk or run the race, whichever you are comfortable with. We will have local vendors, all racers will receive a t-shirt, music, and more, so make sure you sign up today! Registration is $20 for adults and $15 for kids (Under 12).
