the GLOW Run For Youth
The Run for Youth is a family fun run. Participants run/walk/jog for 40 minutes around the track at GSHS. Before the race starts, you can get your face painted or help a friend with their glow sticks while we pass out door prizes and enjoy a DJ. Whether you want to stroll with a friend, pose under the black light, or actually run for 40 minutes, there is room for you at the Run for Youth. Prizes will be awarded after the run.
Individuals may sign up on race day for a suggested donation of $40.
