Virtual Run/ Walk 5K for Ryan

As COVID 19 and social distancing forces us apart, we want to bring people together. For the past two years, a Run/Walk 5K for Ryan has been held in her hometown. Since we cannot be together this year, please join us in our virtual run/walk with your family and friends in your hometown. Ryan Hedgpeth was in a car accident on October 19, 2017, which left her with multiple broken bones and a severe spinal cord injury. Please join us as we come together as a community in an effort to help Ryan and her family with the financial costs of her recovery program.

What is a Virtual Run/Walk 5K? 

A virtual run/walk means you run/walk 3.1 miles. It gives you the flexibility between October 17- October 24 to run/walk at any location at any time. We would love for you to wear your event shirt and take a photo of you and/or your group. Link to FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/events/918609575309158/
