What a great way to get in your steps and introduce the children to the joy of running.
The whole family is welcome to hit the one mile course at your own pace. (Children under 18 need parental consent.)
The one mile event is free but registration is required. Strollers are welcome on the one mile course and there will be prizes for our younger participants.
Support Vision Care
Support Vision Care
Losing your sight can be a frightening experience. But the Lions have resources to help.
100% of the proceeds from this event - EVERY PENNY - goes to support the Lions Low Vision Resource Center (LVRC) in Olympia. The only Center of its kind in western Washington, the LVRC loans equipment and provides training on devices that can help people with failing vision remain independent and engaged.
