Last week, Track and Field Olympian Tiombe Hurd visited Playtime's Girls on the Run team to help hand out their brand-new running shoes for the upcoming 5k race in June!
Whether it was discussing how to get along with a teammate or how to practice the "grapevine" drill, Tiombe had lots to share with the girls.
We hope you'll join us this Monday, May 7th for a happy hour to raise funds to transport girls to the big 5k race, allow their parents to sign up to run with them and purchase snacks.
See you there!
