Description

Race Details:

The purpose of this event is to "Light Up the Night!" Participants are encouraged to dress up their running gear with lights, glow sticks, etc. So as the night falls, attention will be on the supporting families that are lighting up the night by running and walking for Operation Smile. Be as creative as you want! There will a prize for the "Brightest Runner."

Operation Smile is a charitable organization that provides surgeries for children with cleft lips and cleft palates all over the world. It is their mission to help heal these children by giving them the ability to smile and to experience life in the way we all deserve! We are conducting a 1Mile/5K Fun Run/Walk to raise money for this charity on July 23, 2011. Your contribution will help to fund a mission overseas.

 

Cross the finish line and join us for the after party in the courtyard at Roux House!
