Our teams are working on several plans, including the possibility of a modified or virtual event, and we will be making announcements regularly about what you can expect this year.
As always, we remain committed to:
- Bringing you a premier event experience
- Giving you the opportunity to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude while doing something good for yourself
- Recognizing and rewarding your fundraising efforts
Thank you for your continued support of this race, and we look forward to sharing more information with you soon.
