There is a 5 year old girl in our stake, Jaylie Nielson, who was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. To help with medical expenses some sweet people have organized a 5K and Fun Run to help raise funds to help her family cover the costs of those medical expenses.
The Team Jaylie 5K and Fun Run will be August 13th at 7:30 a.m. at the Williamson Regional Park at 1431 and Sam Bass Rd. ( literally around the corner). Anyone can participate regardless of running or walking ability! But, for those serious runners out there, and you are out there, this event is course certified and chip timed! The Fun Run is 1 mile and perfect for the kids that would also like to get out there and participate!
Registration is $30 for the 5K, and $15 for the Fun Run. If you register by August 5th you will also receive a T-shirt.
In addition to the 5K and Fun Run there will be a performance by American Idol Finalist Haeley Vaughan, the Home Depot Kids Workshop, Spike the Round Rock Express Mascot, and the Chick-fil-A Cow! There will also be carnival games, face painting, a DJ, and several free family friendly activities to keep you busy!
Having participated in many 5Ks myself, these really are quite fun and welcoming!
