About the Footprints of Hope: A 5K for Gunnar’s Kids
This is a road race with a charitable purpose at its center: supporting families whose children have medical needs. Strollers and wagons are explicitly welcome, so the crowd tends to include parents pushing kids alongside people running at pace. The atmosphere follows from that, unhurried in places, with a genuine reason for being there beyond the finish line.
