Event Description
After a global pandemic forced us to cancel our 2020 AVERY STEP YOU TAKE 5K event, we're back on Friday evening, August 27th!
This fun run/walk supports AVERYday Ministries, founded in loving memory of Avery Johanna McCarthy, who tragically lost her life in a car accident just 19 days after she turned 11 years old. Avery's mission during her life on earth continues through AVERYday Ministries: supporting many programs she was involved in, financially supporting those desiring to go on mission trips to Haiti, and raising funds to continue to support a transitional home for girls (ages 18-25) in Port de Paix, Haiti, called The Avery House.
Event details and schedule
A large parking facility is available to accomodate all participants. Parking along Oak Street is discouraged as it limits visibility for runners.
