About the Hike for Hearing and Speech
Bona Dea Trails and Sanctuary is the setting, a natural area with wooded paths that gives the morning a quieter feel than a road race. Several distance options mean the same course serves fast runners and walkers side by side, all raising money for hearing healthcare and speech disorder support programs.
The finish area opens into a full celebration with refreshments, vendors, and family activities, so there is reason to stick around after you cross. The cause is specific: funds go directly to organizations supporting people with hearing loss and speech disorders, which gives the crowd a particular warmth you can feel.
