Welcome & Start of Fun Run

9 AM

This is not a timed or competitive race. You can walk or run, one lap or the entire hour; it's up to you.

Many walk in the company of friends and loved ones. Others choose solitude and contemplation. Some even bring their leashed dogs.

However you baby step, open your eyes and look around. Everyone you see that day: that's your support, your family, your tribe. If you're one of eight, you're one of us.
