Races Near Me: Upcoming Running Races

Zombies are on the prowl and you need to collect the supplies you need to survive the apocalypse! Join us for the start of a fun-filled afternoon at the Lone Oak Green Park by running or walking the survival trail and avoiding the zombie hoard. At each 1K you'll collect the supply sticker indicating you successfully arrived at each "supply depot". The course itself is not overly challenging but does have a fairly easy gradual downhill & uphill from the park lakes. The challenge is to get to the supply stations. (This is a no-contact race in which the Zombies on the course will not touch anyone but might impact you from running straight down the middle of the course path).

OUR WHY One of the hardest parts of the CDH journey is the isolation you experience. Meeting up with families who are walking this same path can be so life giving. We want to provide the space and place for you to do just that! Whether you are the parent/family/friend of a child who has survived CDH or a child who has passed from CDH please join us. We will have an afternoon of walking, talking, games and of course a cookout. We will spend the hours from 4pm-6pm connecting and then at 6:30pm we will begin lighting the luminaries and begin the moment of silence as we walk amongst the lighted names of those whose lives were unfairly cut short from this diagnosis. If you cannot attend the walk you can still purchase luminaries for your loved ones. We will be live-streaming the lighting ceremony so that everyone can participate. LUMINARIES If you would like to purchase a luminary for a loved one please complete the form below. Your luminary will be created and available the day of the even
