Walk with GRACE will be hosting Race for GRACE, an outdoor running/walking event on May 9th 2026, with the start/finish at the Richland Center High School track, located at 1996 US Hwy 14 in Richland Center, WI.
They are combining fundraising with prevention goals of getting people to be more active. GRACE hopes you use this event as a motivator to start a training plan to get you moving and reducing cancer risk.
There will be a ¼ mile kids run, a 1-mile fun run/walk, a 5K fun run/walk and a 3.5-mile trail run.
All new
Walk with GRACE has decided to go with all different distances to try to have something for all abilities. The 1 mile fun run/walk will include the First Responders Challenge.
They will also have pledge sheets for anyone who would like to raise additional funds for GRACE.
