Run, Walk & Dash for Down syndrome!

The HRC Fitness 2nd Annual 5K & 1 Mile Walk benefiting GiGi’s Playhouse Hillsborough will take place on Sunday, October 4th, and will have something for everyone.

After you finish running, walking and dashing, stay for the Fall Festival. An afternoon of family fun that includes seasonal food, giveaways, inflatables, a Spooky Studio, fitness demos, and more! The afternoon will also feature Live Music by Tastes Like Chicken!

In 2014, more than 250 people participated in the 5K Run and 1 mile walk, raising $10,000. This year we want to double that, as we continue to spread the word about GiGi’s Playhouse mission, which is to change the way the world views Down syndrome. Together we can raise the funds that will help us continue to offer FREE social, educational and therapeutic programs, as well as foster awareness and acceptance in our communities nationwide.

Create a team or join one of the great teams already participating. Friday Friends is a team of our adult program participants, while Girls Just Wanna Have Fun encourages local Daisy & Girl Scout Troops to walk together.

Once you have registered, be sure to like the 5K Facebook page for event updates and training trips from the HRC staff as you prepare to run the USATF certified flat course.

Remember, we don’t only need runners, we also need volunteers! If you are interested in volunteering, you can sign up online.
