It's time to register for the 6th Annual HEROES FOR HOPE 5K RUN/Walk,
Kids MARATHON, and 1 Mile Walk of Valor. Join us Saturday September
15th and help celebrate Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!! This year
we are excited to announce that our race will benefit St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital and HEROES FOR HOPE. This year we will
hold the race at Acme Brick - 3024 Acme Brick Plaza, FORT WORTH, TX
76109.
We will have FORT WORTH's FIRST KIDS MARATHON!! This is a great
introduction to fitness and running for our kiddos. We will provide an
8 and 12 week training program they can follow at their own pace and
parents can keep track of their progress on our mileage tracker. Our
plans will guide your child through all but one mile of their full
MARATHON (26.2 miles). They will complete their last mile with us on
race day and receive a race t-shirt, finisher's medal, and BBQ lunch.
Kids that just want to run the 1 mile fun run on race day, do not need
to register. The Kids MARATHON BEGINS AT 7:40am. If you would like to
have the training program and mileage tracker emailed to you, please
send me an email at agrady04@yahoo.com.
We will have free BBQ, free fresh fruit, SUPERHEROES and PRINCESSES,
free massages, a contest for largest team and largest HERO team, a
kids fun zone, and an awesome vendor village (bring extra money for
all the cool stuff!). Our 2018 Ambassadors of Hope are Natalie Wynn
and Saxton Swope. Natalie was diagnosed at age 11 with Non-Hodgkins
Lymphoma and ALL Leukemia. Saxton was diagnosed at age 11 with
Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. They are both now 13 and and were able to
return to school this year. They will design this year's medals!! Are
you running in honor/in memory of someone? Have their name listed on
the back of this year's shirt. Camp Gladiator will lead a fun pre-race
warmup. Cox Racing Services will provide chip timing. Come check out
the coolest race of the year!!
In October 2017, Heroes for Hope began a financial assistance program
for families fighting childhood cancer at our D/FW hospitals.
