Why is it called RunFest?
This race combines the thrill of a road race with the fun, family-friendly festivities that you’re accustomed to if you’ve ever attended a Swim for Smiles triathlon. Whether you come as a participant or a cheerleader, you will be united in our support of kids helping kids.
