Laurel Memorial Run/Walk

This popular event was created by Wayne and Elaine Hotelling in honor of their oldest daughter, who had Down syndrome.

The 30th annual Laurel Memorial Run/Walk offers a variety of ways for people to participate – an 8-kilometer running race, a 5-kilometer running race, a 5-kilometer fitness walk, a 1-kilometer fun walk, children’s runs, and Laurel’s Legacy Lap (a walk for anyone with a disability).

Registration is $25 for adults ($20 for children age 17 and younger) until July 16; prices increase $5 after that.

Check-in begins at 7:00 a.m. in the Village Square, with the runs and walks beginning at 8:30.

Proceeds benefit The Resource Center and Filling the Gap Inc. to support disability awareness and prevention programs, and to enhance employment and work training opportunities for adults with disabilities.
