Event Description
RUN or WALK IN REMEMBRANCE OF YOUR LOVED ONE or TO HONOR THE LIFE OF ANOTHER
With so much happening this year, we are more committed than ever to helping those affected by the death of a loved one. This years 9th Annual A Walk to Remember has moved to a VIRTUAL RACE. Which means there are zero geographical barriers to participate so, ANYONE, from anywhere, can sign up to show their support! The event hosted by the Richard Lambert Foundation, is a fundraiser to support families, children, and adults in our communities that are facing the future without their loved one. Funds will provide free grief support programs and one-on-one counseling starting as low as $10. Invite your friends, family and co-workers to join you in supporting Richard Lambert Foundation (RLF) and be sure to let them know what RLF means to YOU. Your support will have an everlasting impact in the life of bereaved children and adults facing one of life’s most difficult journeys.
WHAT DOES A VIRTUAL RACE MEAN - Our virtual race means you may run or walk 3.1 miles (5K) at any time, at any pace, anywhere that's convenient between September 25-27! We’re sad we won’t get to see you in person, but we're excited to see how far our race reaches this year! You can participate in any city, state, or country..... on a trail, sidewalk, track, or on a treadmill. Strollers and pets are allowed and post race food has endless opportunities! We encourage you to maintain social distancing practices while participating in this year's virtual run. Please make sure to follow safety precautions, social distancing guidelines and advice from city officials.
