RuariSparkle Tutu Run, Walk, and Trot

We are back for our 4th annual RuariSparkle Tutu Run, Walk, Trot and Virtual Run! 

The donations from the 2022 race helped open the RuariSparkle Parking Fund for the Children's Surgery Center at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital which was able to help over 600 families to date. The funds from our 2023 event will continue to support the RuariSparkle Parking Fund for the Children's Surgery Center at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital and the RuariSparkle Comfort Fund, which provided a meal for pediatric patients and families who were hospitalized in the Spring of 2023.

This fun event is a country road race hosted at Yawger Brook Catering and Campground at 989 Chamberlain Road, Auburn NY. The Tutu Run (2.2 mile) is a timed race with overall and age group awards. The Tutu Walk (1 mile) is a non-timed walk/fun run; strollers, family and friends are welcome. The Tutu Trot is a fun dash in the grass for ages 7 and under. The Tutu Virtual Run/Walk/Skip/Trot (2.2 mile) is an untimed at your leisure fun run. Virtual is a great way to participate in the event near or far.

The days events will consist of race awards, raffles, refreshments, entertainment and family fun.

The mission of RuariSparkle is to help families in our community to provide comfort and sparkle to children facing childhood cancers. By Spreading Ruari’s Sparkle we seek to exemplify how to “be a good human and make good choices.” Proceeds from this event will be used at Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital. 

Tutus are encouraged but not required.
