About the Walk / Run For Your Lungs 5k
This race is put on by the Respiratory Therapy Club at a local university, and the cause is the whole point. Proceeds go toward lung health awareness and support the club's own work training future respiratory care professionals. The route is a standard road distance, and the atmosphere reflects the mission more than the mileage.
