My Best Day 5K and Kids' Dash

My Best Day 5K and Kids Dash is a fundraiser for the Jake Arntson Memorial Fund.  Please join us as we celebrate the life and memory of Jake, as well as other local children and adults that have left us too soon  As we honor these families with their loved ones on Angel Avenue, we are raising funds for the Jake Arntson Teammate of the Year Scholarships.  These scholarships are awarded to CMR, GFHS, and GF Central student-athletes that have displayed the qualities of being the best teammate.

*Online registration ends at midnight on September 14th.  Same-day registration is available starting at 11:30 at West Bank Park.
