This 5K is a nice, smallish race which starts and finishes in Adel's Kinnick-Feller park next to the river.  This race raises funds to help support families with infants who are sick, and they also come alongside and support families who have lost infants.  I have friends who experienced that terrible loss, and this event is very dear to them.  So in addition to running a nice small town race - we have the chance to support a great, great cause while running the parks and streets of Adel.   The race begins at 8:30, and is preceeded by a special ceremony at 8:15.

It's baaack !!  The trail repair at Gray's Lake is finally done, and we are ready to return for another lake run.  The breakfast last year was a big hit, and we will are ready to do that again.  In addition to sharing fun miles at the lake with our current Captains - we want to introduce our program to potential Captains who are not yet on the team.  This fun is a great and casual way to introduce them to our running family  Shorter runs, parents can bike or run along, plenty of interaction in the 'food court' - the total package. 

Please stop by  and/or invite someone to come and see what adaptive running is and how much fun the Captains have when they go on a run.  We will have plenty of coffee and breakfast entrees.  The teams will beging running at 9:00 a.m. 

Come join the fun - maybe even bring your running shoes and run with us !

Each year this race gets bigger and better.  Two years ago, we ran one team in the half marathon.  Last year, one team ran the half and a relay team took on the marathon.  This year, three Captains will be running the half. 

IMT Insurance has been a great supporter of our team and has treated us very, very kindly in this race. It will be an honor to run the marathon with the cart they purchased for us.   Maybe we need more red carts so more teams can run these longer races.  :)
