This inspiring event offers participants a timed 5K run or a more relaxed 1-mile walk, making it accessible for all fitness levels. The race has a profound history, annually gathering hundreds of participants since its inception in 2010 to raise crucial funds for sarcoma research and awareness, contributing over $3 million to date.
