This year, proceeds from the event will go directly to Dove Recovery House in Jasper, a vital organization dedicated to providing recovery support services for women overcoming substance use challenges. By participating, runners and walkers of all ages will not only enjoy a fun-filled experience but also help make a difference in the lives of those seeking a fresh start.

Participants can expect a fun run/walk around the walking path of 18th Street Park in Ferdinand, where they will be doused in bright colors at various checkpoints along the route. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just looking for a unique way to enjoy the day with friends and family, this event is for you! The event is fun with no place prizes, but for each lap completed, participants earn a ticket to enter in for a chance to win a variety of prizes donated by local companies.
