Join us for the tenth annual Father's Day 1M, 5K, 10K, 13.1, 26.2 virtual race! On June 16, 2024, it's time to honor and celebrate the #1 Dad in your life. This event is a fantastic opportunity to show your appreciation. It's for all of the Turtley Awesome Fathers out there!
In the spirit of making a difference, we will donate at least 15% of each registration to Team Hoyt. This incredible organization is dedicated to fostering the character, confidence, and self-esteem of disabled and physically challenged young people throughout America. Their commitment to inclusion in all aspects of daily life is truly inspiring. The roots of Team Hoyt date back to 1977 when Rick Hoyt expressed his desire to participate in a 5-mile benefit run for a paralyzed lacrosse player. Despite not being a long-distance runner, Dick Hoyt pushed Rick in his wheelchair, and together they completed the race, finishing next to last. That moment marked the beginning of a remarkable journey. Rick shared with his father, "Dad, when I'm running, it feels like I'm not handicapped."
