Run Because You Can 2025

5K Run/Walk and Kid's Fun Run

Please join us for Run Because You Can - a 5K Run or Walk and Untimed 1/4 Mile Dash presented by Runnin' for Rhett. It will be a morning filled with inspiration and smiles; an opportunity to accomplish goals; a day that encourages you to get up off the couch and get moving into life; and lastly a fundraiser for our continued efforts to promote fitness among our community's children.

The Youth Fitness Program participants will have a rolling start beginning with the SECOND corral.  The first corral will be the adult/community corral. Doing this will allow the adult racers their own space.  

*If you do not choose a school, you will be placed in the first corral.
