    Welcome to our 5th Annual Run For Raegan Race!

    We are so excited for you to be joining us on this special day we created for Raegan in May of 2021. We know she would be honored and beyond excited to participate with all her family and friends near and far. Raegan always did enjoy a good race and was known to even out run her boy-friends.

    We started this race virtually with the Michael Mosier Foundation in May of 2020 when Raegan was still fighting this monster of a tumor (DIPG) The Mosiers are near and dear to our heart because not only did they lose their son Michael at the age of 6 but they were the first ones to reach out to us and have been part of our journey since. In November of 2020 after Raegan passed away we decided to become Family Partners with the Mosier's as they were merging with another Foundation called Chad Tough. The Carrs lost their son Chad at the age of 5 to DIPG. We now fight for a cure together with the Chad Tough Defeat DIPG Foundation along with over 40 other Family Partners.

    We thank you for your continued support in our mission and continuing Raegan's legacy. Without your support, love, and prayers we would not be where we are today.

    On Sunday, June 21, 2026, the community will head to the hills of Vista View Park for the Fit to be Tied - Father's Day 5K, a premier event designed to celebrate dads and father figures in a high-energy, family-friendly atmosphere. This isn't just a race; it’s a full-scale celebration where families can bond while enjoying the fresh morning air and the park's scenic views. To ensure every participant feels like a VIP, the event features an incredible race package including a personalized race bib, a high-quality event shirt, and a custom finisher medal to commemorate the achievement.

    ​The excitement continues well after the finish line with activities tailored for all ages. Children can dive into a world of fun at the Kids Zone, featuring creative arts and crafts—like making a custom "designer tie" for Dad—and a variety of carnival games with exciting prizes to be won. For the adults, the celebration includes a dedicated "Dad's Zone" where they can unwind with a cold, refreshing beer and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow participants. From the video game truck to the festive music, every detail is crafted to make this Father’s Day one for the history books.
