Rachel & Friends 5k

Rachel & Friends is a non-profit organization that works with adults with developmental disabilities. In addition to day programming, we work with individuals in the community that also have developmental challenges. The purpose of this race is to empower the community to see the amazing individuals around us with Down Syndrome, Autism or other challenges and embrace the beauty in all of us. The event offers two race distances, 5k or 1 mile. Choose whatever is best for you! There is also a free fun run for the kids before the start of the 5k and 1-Mile races. All kids will receive a ribbon when they finish the fun run.
