Today is the 63rd anniversary of the iconic I Have A Dream Speech! This peaceful march helped mold the world we have today and the MLK Dream Run was created to keep this dream alive!

โ€œLet us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred... I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character... I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed โ€” we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.โ€
โ€œ - Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

Join us in honoring Dr. Kingโ€™s message at this years annual MLK Dream Run, September 19th and 20th. Support small businesses, get active in your community and be apart of the movement!
