Description
Join us on Wednesday 5/17 at 6 pm as our friends from Mizuno will be here for a demo run featuring the Wave Rider, Wave Inspire, and Wave Sky models. The run coincides with the release of the limited edition Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF)^ Wave Rider 27. Mizuno donates $25,000 annually regardless of the number of pairs sold to the BCRF to support ProjectZERO. One in 8 women is currently diagnosed with breast cancer and the goal of projectZERO is to bring that number down to zero. Read more about the BCRF & Mizuno partnership below.
The run is a flexible distance 5K (or shorter) around our shopping center.
