The event is open to all ages and includes a 5K walk and a 10K race. The 5K goes out to Ironstone and back. The 10K goes further out Six Mile Road and back. Medallions will be awarded to men and women in each of the four age categories in the 10K run. The walk is a lovely alternative for those who want to walk, stroll, and ride bicycles or tricycles. Families with those in strollers are also encouraged.
Registration is $30 for adults and $15 for children. Children 6 and under are free. Those that pre-register will receive a t-shirt.

A warm-up and welcome will be at 8:45 and the runners will take off at 9am, with the walkers following right after.
April is Autism Awareness Month so we are particularly honoring and supporting those individuals who walk off the beaten path. These individuals often experience challenges that others don't.
If you can't make the event, but would like to support Mind Matters, we will gratefully accept donations.
Thank you and hope to see you there!
