We will have food and refreshments available at both the beginning and end of the event.

More about Geo Foundation and our cause:

The Geo Foundation honors George "Geo" Batikha and the many youth and young adults who have been diagnosed with cancer. All proceeds will go towards our two programs:

Community Fund: Scholarships awarded to promising youth who champion our cause
Family Assistance Fund: Direct grants provided to families who have a child going through cancer. Any funds not donated by the end of the year are donated to a charity focused on supporting families impacted by youth cancer. Currently that non profit is St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Parking and location within park

Click the image below to see the Google Maps location of the parking lot at Brookdale Park. There should be plenty of parking in the morning of the 15th, but as the parking lot fills up, we can park along the road leading into the parking lot, and also along West Circuit Dr, which is the main road that the parking lot is located on. We'll meet for the race launch just south of the parking lot, near the children's playground (see the "Race Launch Point" in the image below). We'll have signs to navigate you to our launch point from the parking lot on the morning of the event.
