About this Event

Join in our annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Run! Today, we gather to honor the legacy of Dr. King and his enduring commitment to justice, equality, and peace. As we lace up our shoes and hit the pavement, let’s reflect on his powerful message of love and resilience.
This event is not just about fitness; it’s a celebration of community, a call to action for social change, and a reminder of the work still to be done. Together, we can honor Dr. King’s dream and inspire one another to continue striving for a better world. Let’s run with purpose and passion!
