Event Description

Are you tired of violence in our communities?  Do you think that people from diverse backgrounds can and should interact peacefully? We do. The second annual 10K Human Race takes place in beautiful Point Defiance Park, starting at Owen Beach.  A portion of the proceeds will go to support the Sea Mar Community Health Center (http://www.seamar.org/static_pages/donate.php).  Together we can make our communities stronger and end violence. So brush off those sneaks, sign up here, and join us for a day of fun and community togetherness on October 15th.  We hope to see you there!
