ONE-MILE FUN RUN/WALK
We are excited to offer an option for participants to choose a fun run/walk event. Start 5 minutes after the 8K runners, turn around at the half-mile point, hit the finish line, and start enjoying the celebration! Fun Run/Walk participants will receive the same race shirt and drink ticket as 8K registrants. We hope you’ll join us in supporting Blessings In A Backpack with your participation.
Just for fun, gather up some of your friends/family and run/walk a mile as a team!
Strollers are welcome to participate in the Fun Run/Walk.
