Leslie did a podcast this week with UMDF, gearing up to our 17th Annual event THIS Friday! She comes in around the 12 minute mark. Give it a listen if you have some downtime!

Pre-registration starts at 6pm! Come out & support our event by participating or donating! You can hangout & eat at the food trucks, let your kids play in the kiddie area, etc. Help us make this year successful!

Happy Friday!

Just a quick reminder that pre-registration ends on Monday!! This is the only way to lock in a shirt & also makes it super easy for you on race day! Remember - you don’t have actually run or walk to support our family. You can sign up & just show up to be a part of the event or make a donation or buy some shirts. There are lots of ways to be a part of the event!

Speaking of shirts - Luke designed a good one this year! The theme is off of a certain major brand, with a Run4Raley twist - “Just Run It”. Shirts are black & gold for t-shirts & white & gold for dri-fits. They’re pretty “drippy”, as the kids say. 😆

If you’re unable to attend but still want to buy some shirts to represent, send us a message with your shirts sizes & then send a Venmo to .

T-Shirts are $25 for kid sizes through Adult XL. 2XL & up are $30 each. Dri-fits are $30 for Adult S - XL (no kid dri-fit shirts available) & 2XL & up are $35.

Pre-registration link - www.run4raley.org

Looking forward to our 17th Annual event!! 💚💚💚💚

The Run4Raley event is a 5k run and 1 mile walk held annually in early August in Philo, IL where proceeds for the UMDF help fight mitochondrial disease
