This is Why We Walk
Sure, we love to brag about our parties and celebrations, but we never lose sight of the WHY… why we walk.
Our 290ish survivors and thrivers are the pride and joy of our flock and we make sure that they feel the love all weekend long.
- They gather at the start line and lead our race every day.
- We kick the entire weekend off with a private luncheon just for our warriors on Thursday.
- We honor them with a special Survivor Celebration on Friday.
