miles of smiles: 3rd annual pinwheel run for hope was fun for all!
| |
Thank you to participants, supporters, sponsors and volunteers for making this a great event!
It was a cool March morning and a great day for a race! Honorary Race Chair Michael Garofalo, and the rocking sounds of Hogg Shedd, welcomed over 200 runners and their families and friends to the 3rd annual Pinwheel Run for Hope 5K Trail event at Clarity Child Guidance Center.
In addition to a large group of serious runners and walkers, the event also included a Family Fun Run. The kids in the Family Fun Run ran their hearts out and received ribbons for their efforts! The adults were competitive, too, and medals were awarded to multiple age group winners for the 5K Trail Run and Walk.
