Race for GRACE will take place this Saturday

The Race for GRACE will take place this Saturday, at the Richland Center High School track.   

 GRACE is combining fundraising with their prevention goals of getting people to be more active. The hope is for people to use this event as a motivator to start a training plan to get you moving and reduce 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. The varying distances of the events were done to provide opportunities for people of varying abilities. 

The 1 mile fun run/walk will include the First Responders Challenge.  There will also be pledge sheets for anyone who would like to raise additional funds for GRACE.

The trail run is new this year,  it will be an off-road adventure with some challenging hills and beautiful views of Richland Center. Also new this year, all races start and finish on the Richland Center High School track.
