Hey-Hey-Hey!!! Let's Run A 5K!!!
|
|
|
|
Our annual 5K is scheduled! Mark your calendars to join us June 11th. Race starts at 8:00 AM.
We are looking for sponsors as well as race participants.
Join us for dinner and music the night of Friday, June 10th at the FTR SLC campus to kick off the event.
This year we will run in honor of Doug, FTR beloved treasurer who succumbed to cancer just after our 5K last year. Doug is hoping for a bright and sunny day. He was a source of light and still casts a long shadow. Come follow his path along the International Peace Garden. He'd smile to see you there. Be sure to laugh along the way!
