Always Leave Smiling 5K Run/Walk

The Always Leave Smiling Foundation was founded in 2025 to honor the legacy of Tom Watson. Tom, a Barry County local, was an avid outdoorsman. When he wasn't in the woods looking for his next trophy buck, he could be found at the Legacy Golf Course, riding his fat tire bike, or running his next race. Tom, a successful entrepreneur in the Tool & Die industry, had a passion for giving students an avenue with those that had interest in trades programs. Your participation and support can make a significant impact, as all proceeds will go to the Always Leave Smiling Foundation. Funds will be used to support Barry County Residents with expenses associated with cancer treatment and assisting youth in entering trade programs.
