About the Event

Run for a reason, walk with purpose—join us in honoring Dan Sorensen and empowering students to serve.

Whether you're near, far, fast, or just walking a lap—there's a place for you at the starting line!

All, adults and children, are welcome. We also have a mile walk which is held indoors, through the church (no stairs).

For those who want to participate from a distance, we have a virtual 5K race option as well.

Run it. Walk it. Rock it. Just don’t miss it!

No dogs please!
