Join us in celebrating our sweet angel's 5th birthday! We can't think of any better way to honor JJ than to participate in a 5K in his memory. Doesn't matter if you run or walk, just get outside and move your feet #forJJ! We invite you to stay and hang out after the race to celebrate JJ's birthday - we will have music, snacks, balloons, and entertainment!All proceeds will go to First Candle, an organization that works to help bereaved families and hoping to bring an end to SIDS.
In November of 2021 we unexpectedly lost our 5-month-old son, JJ. He was a perfectly healthy and happy baby, thriving and enjoying life. What started as a typical Friday morning for our family changed completely when we got the call that JJ had gone down for his morning nap at daycare and did not wake up.
We did everything we were supposed to do and unfortunately have no answers to what caused this tragedy. To honor our son and in hopes to help prevent this from happening to other families in the future, we are working to raise money for research for SIDS.
Cost:
5 Miler $50 per person
5K $30 per person
**Price increase 30 days prior to race day**
Ages 5 and under: Free (won't receive a bib for timing)
Kids Fun Run (Color Run)
This year we will be adding a kid's fun run as a part of our event. This race will be geared towards elementary school-aged kids, ideally ages 5-12. It will take place on a much shorter course (less than one mile). Kids will be sprinkled with color powder while running to create a fun "color run" experience!!
