Join us for a morning of friendship, community, and fitness for all ability levels. This is a FREE run that honors the spirit of Rylie Guentensberger who died May 26, 2017 and benefits the non-profit established in her name. All proceeds and donations support Rylie's ARK which is a dedicated to creating a BIG impact through small acts of kindness.
This event includes a timed 5K and festival atmosphere complete with food, drinks, music, games and vendors. We'll have a variety of food trucks for a Make Your Own Mother's Day Brunch as well as beer and a specialty cocktail. Make it a day of fun and celebration with us!
