Race For GRACE

Race for GRACE

GRACE will be hosting an outdoor running event on May 18 at the Dr Kilian Meyer Building at 950 N. Orange St in Richland Center, WI. We are combining fundraising with our prevention goals of getting people to be more active. We hope you use this event as a motivator to start a training plan to become more active. There will be a ¼ mile kids run, a 1 mile fun run/walk, a 5k fun run/walk and a 10k run. We decided to go with all the different distances to try to have something for all abilities. The 1 mile fun run/walk will also have the Firefighters Challenge. We will also have optional pledge sheets for anyone who would like to raise additional funds for GRACE.

Kids 1/4 mile run	$15	$20
1 mile walk/run	$20	$25

Firefighters Challenge

The Firefighters Challenge will have teams of firefighters participating with other runners/walkers. Each team will have 3 or more firefighters from the same department. Each team, regardless of size pays a $100 registration fee. Here is the catch, we want you in your gear. Firefighter teams must wear turnout gear. Coat and pants are required; helmet and air tank are optional. No boots allowed! We want you to wear good shoes to save your feet. Team members MUST finish together. Medals will be given to each firefighter that is identified before April 25th and participates in the 1 mile race. Optionally, you can have a pledge sheet for your department to raise additional funds for GRACE.
