This isn’t just a race — it’s a movement.
Participants will run or walk along the beautiful paths of Memory Grove Park, one of the most scenic parks in the United States, featuring peaceful trails and stunning mountain views. It’s the perfect way to kick off Mobility Week with energy, community, and purpose.
