Hi Friends,
It is with great sadness that we are indeed cancelling the race this year. Due to low funding and participation, the Rivendell Special Olympics has disbanded, leaving the race without a beneficiary. This also led to a loss of our race directors, for both Special Olympics and personal reasons.
We are so grateful for everyone who has participated, volunteered and donated over the past 10 years. While taking a small hiatus this year, we hope to come back stronger than ever next year.
A few friends plan to meet and run unorganized on Saturday, May 19 anyways. A showing of community bond and memorial to Allen Avery, who left us 10 years ago this March. We hope you may all take a moment to reflect and thank all the people who support and provide education for our children.
Please send ideas for a future fundraising mission. Next race May 18, 2019!
