Description
Unfortunately, due to unexpected weather, we have made the difficult decision to convert the 2025 Special Kids Race into a virtual event.
Run Virtually with Us Until March 23rd!
All registrants can complete their participation virtually between now and March 23, 2025. You do not need to take additional action to be a virtual participant—just run your chosen distance and share your experience with us!
Race Update – Transition to Virtual Run
Your safety and well-being are our top priorities as we prepare for race day tomorrow, Saturday, March 15, 2025. Unfortunately, we are facing two distinct weather systems, with the first impacting our area between 3 AM and 5 AM, followed by another around 9 AM.Given the predicted thunderstorms, high winds, lightning, and heavy rain during the early morning hours, our race team would be placed at significant risk during site setup. For the safety of all participants, volunteers, and staff, we have made the difficult decision to transition the Special Kids Race to a virtual run.
