US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. P

It is such experiences that help children become responsible citizens and caring members of their community. Last year the Marine Corps fulfilled the holiday hopes and dreams of 7 million less fortunate children in 792 communities nationwide. Since 1947 over 244 million children have been assisted.

Welcome to the 10th Annual Hope for Lillian Grace Reindeer Run 5k & 1 Mile Fun Run! This event goes to support Hope for Lillian Grace! Hope for Lillian Grace is a 501(c)(3) set up to benefit Lillian & Quinn Ball and their family as they continue their lifelong journey with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD). Calling the past few years easy would be an understatement for the Ball family. Lillian Grace (9) received her much anticipated kidney transplant along with right kidney nephrectomy on May 11, 2021. Just shy of 4 weeks later, on June 7, 2021, Quinn Renee, the family's second ARPKD warrior, was born. Although Quinn did not have an extensive NICU stay like big sister, her ARPKD complications were in full force from day one. Those complications would ultimately land Quinn in Wolfson Children's Hospital on August 10, 2021. The primary side effect of ARPKD is hypertension; Quinn was diagnosed shortly after admission for hypertensive cardiomyopathy. She subsequently spent 51 days in Wolfson Children's Hospital CVICU where she worked her heart back to full strength. Year to date, Quinn has had two 911 calls, one transport to Wolfson, two extensive ICU stays, and regular weekly therapies to make up her development. Also during that time, Lillian endured countless transplant clinics in Gainesville and one hospital admission herself. The family has again endured a trying season of ARPKD and relies heavily on this annual event to help them offset costs from both the medical expenses as well as the peripheral expenses. Below are some highlighted costs that you help cover by participating! One month of oral medications for Quinn: $233.75 Syringes for both girls every 60 days: $71.92 Every Gainesville trip: $20-$30 gas Hospital/Appointment Meal for Jamie, Joe and Lillian: $30-$50 Ambulance Fees: $150 Lillian's Lab draws: $150 These are just a few costs that the family endures, even with medical insurance. So, you see, every bit helps! Whether you do the 1 mile fun run or walk/run the 5k, the family is beyond grateful for your ongoing love and support! Please come out and join us in supporting Hope for Lillian Grace! Thank you, and God bless.
