About the Brave like Ellie Warrior Walk and Run
The course runs through Getzendaner Park on trails, with distance options ranging from a short walk to a longer run. The race is tied to a childhood cancer awareness organization, and the mood reflects that, people are there because something matters to them, not because they are chasing a time. The surrounding park keeps things quiet and shaded.
Packet pickup and registration open on the morning of the race, so there is no need to come out the night before. The start area is inside the park, with the walk and run launching close together so families and runners begin near each other.
