Race Postponed Till Early Summer ‘24

New Date: May or June 2024

The Backpack program is a ministry of Love Thy Neighbor Food Pantry. The pantry is in the final phase of their new building. We were hopeful to have this event go in conjunction with the Grand Opening but that is not possible due to construction delays. 

We are postponing the event effective immediately to likely May or June of 2024 to coincide with the grand opening.

Sorry for the confusion.

Here Are Your Options:

We will transfer your registration to the new event date once it is set, and look forward to having you join us. Thanks for your patience!

You understand that events are expensive, even when cancelled, and you want us to keep your registration fees to help cover our costs. We deeply appreciate your generosity and look forward to seeing you at an event soon.

We understand. We hope you can join us next time.
