Running in support of Youth Special Olympics

Registration is underway for the fourth annual Hometown Run for Youth Special Olympics.

The fundraising run takes place on Sunday, May 3.

“As we reach the fourth year of the Hometown Run for Youth Special Olympics, it’s incredible to see how the community’s dedication has shaped the lives of our youth athletes,” says Lisa O’Kane, Race Co-Director. “The first three events have been a great success, and they have ensured our athletes have access to programs that promote healthy, active living and lasting friendships.”

Funds raised will help sponsor local Special Olympics Athletes, covering fees and registration costs throughout the upcoming season.

The Hometown Run features 5 km and 10 km events, along with a 1 km family fun run/walk.
