Here’s a terrific race making a return this year to Jonathan Dickenson State Park in Tequesta. Sat Sept 7th will be the second running of this event. Organized by Bianca Papa, the idea was conceived after she witnessed first-hand the amazing work done by St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. Her brother, Beckett, was successfully treated for a rare blood cancer and has since been deemed “cancer free! Last year’s debut race was very successful, as Bianca was able to raise and donate $25,000 to St Jude’s from the event. This year will undoubtedly be even larger, with more runners and walkers aware of the race and its cause.
JD State Park’s 5k course is on a shady path through a natural wooded area. Walkers and runners are welcomed, the run will be professionally timed by Accuchip Timing for those looking to race. More information about the event and live registration can be found here:
