Weather or Not … We Run for a Cause!
The Chargers 5K, Walk, and Trot will take place rain or shine — because a little weather can’t dampen Charger spirit!
But don’t worry — registered participants will still receive medals, and those who signed up by February 23 will also receive their commemorative T-shirts. T-shirts will also be available for other registrants while supplies last. Information will be sent regarding how and where to pick up items.
Thanks for supporting our Chargers!
