The entry fee is a cash donation that can be paid on the day or EFT before the race. The first 100 participants will receive a medal.

The club’s first walk/run for a child in need took place about two years ago, when they raised money for Megan Herbst, who was diagnosed with childhood arthritis.

The club is excited to host this annual event, and make a difference in Deidre’s life.
