Build my planIt is time for our 16th Annual event! Year 15 for our event was amazing and we hope this year is just as successful. While we are so blessed with all of the support we have received over the years, we are also reminded that it has been 16 years since we lost our beloved Julia. She touched so many lives while she was with us, and is still touching so many lives today, through this event. We are so excited to continue Julia's legacy by holding this race for the 16th year, while raising and donating money to some amazing organizations and individuals.
Once again, we will be holding our event at SMITHVILLE LAKE ! We will start at finish the race at the Little Platte Beach area - this will allow for plenty of parking, a section of road running, then hitting the paved trails to see the beauty of the lake on a beautiful fall morning ! As always we will pray for a beautiful fall morning for the event.
