    This isn’t just a race—it’s a movement to bring smiles and support to children with critical illnesses and their families. Every dollar raised goes directly to Preston’s League, a nonprofit that delivers weekly wish lists to patients and caregivers in the Duke Pediatric Transplant and Cellular Therapy unit.

    Why You’ll Love It:

    -A fun, untimed 5K where you’ll be splashed with vibrant color powder!

    -Perfect for runners, walkers, and anyone who loves a good time for a great cause.

    -Make memories while making an impact!

    We welcome local businesses to join the fun—set up a table at the race and share your products or services with our community!
