Whether you’re racing for the win, enjoying a fun jog with friends, taking a relaxing stroll (and earning a medal for it!), or bringing the family for the Easter Family Fun Zone, this event has something for everyone.
Beyond the finish line, your participation makes a real difference! The Easter Sun Run is a major fundraiser for Youth Horizons, a faith-based nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of 200 local youth and their families through mentoring, foster residential care, and advocacy programs.
