About the 10th Annual Hope for Lillian Grace Reindeer Run
This race in Saint Johns supports a local family living with a serious inherited kidney disease, and the cause is woven into everything about the morning. There are a couple of distance options, one short enough for young kids, so the field tends to be a mix of neighbors who know the family and people who just want to help.
The event runs annually around the holidays, which gives it a seasonal character. If you have run here before, you likely already know someone at the start line. If you have not, the reason this race exists is spelled out clearly, and most people there can tell you the story firsthand.
