Real People Helping People Race

We are hosting a 5K/10K race on October 12th, 2024. It will start and finish at the Durty Dabber Pavilion in McElhattan. There will be an option to add a food ticket for $10. We are now a registered non-profit organization, Real People Helping People! Proceeds from the race will benefit our Haven Summer Youth Program. We have had an impact on more than 100 children the past 2 summers and we plan on continuing to do so. Our program feeds the kids lunch, gets them active and socializing, and builds relationships. A percentage of the proceeds will also be going to support the Central Mountain Cross Country team! 10K starts at 8:30am. 5K starts at 9:00am.   Race day registration available starting at 7:30am.
