The sixth annual Woods Creek Run 4 the Kids 4-mile benefit race, which raises funds to treat cerebral palsy for local youths, will take place on Saturday, May 11, at 9 a.m., starting and finishing at Waddell Elementary School.
The race goes on a moderately hilly 4-mile out-andback course on the Woods Creek Trail, from Waddell to the historic Miller House Museum at Jordans Point Park and back, and runners, walkers, strollers, wheelchairs, and those of all abilities are welcome.
Barbecue will be provided by Sunrise Diner in Lexington, and there will be overall and age group awards, as well as business, university and soaring spirit awards.
Participants can also take part virtually, running the race at their convenience from now until May 11.
With the help of donations, the event has raised more than $30,000 to cover the intensive cerebral palsy therapy costs for two local youths, Riven Welch and Alyssa Cornwell.
Registration is online until the day of the race, and the cost for the in-person race, with a t-shirt and food included, is $35. To sign up with no t-shirt and no food, the cost is $25. For the virtual 4-miler, the cost is $25. The student discount is $15.
