This is a fundraising event, and we will be asking for donations for the local charity (either through registration or on race day). 

Please register everyone who will be participating, so we can plan the event accordingly (i.e., kids fun run has finisher medals for all, so we need to know how many kids will be there).

Event details:

7:00am - Packet pick-up begins

8:00am - Kids fun run

8:30am - 5k (timed and non-timed)

Benefactors:

100% of proceeds will go to the local charity, A Giving Spirit Foundation.

A Giving Spirit Foundation (AGSF) is a Lake Norman based charity that provides financial assistance to Charlotte-area mothers facing a medical crisis.  Since 2008, AGSF has provided nearly $400,000 in grants to help women pay for family expenses such as medical bills, utilities, groceries, and rent.  We are an entirely volunteer based organization and are thankful for the support of our local community to help these moms in need!

Please select the donate tab to contribute.  There is also the option during the registration process.
