It's hard to believe we've been running for 5 years! There are two options for both adults and children: a virtual race that can be completed at any time or the in-person event on April 18th. This year's race is a Glow Run! Get all dressed up in your favorite glow clothes for a fun time! All proceeds will help ECEF continue its mission to connect and support special needs families and enhance their lives through events and education.
