🎁 Merry Miles: Run for a Cause, Give for the Heart

This holiday season, we invite you to join us for the Merry Miles run, where the true spirit of giving shines brighter than ever. This special event celebrates the joy of selflessness and generosity—the reason for the season. Lace-up your shoes and bring an unwrapped toy for a boy or girl, which will be donated to Miller Children’s Hospital, bringing holiday cheer to those who need it most.

🥳 Community Celebration

At the finish line, we’ll celebrate with a post-run gathering, offering holiday treats and drinks. We’ll also collect and display all the donated toys, highlighting the community’s generosity and holiday spirit.

❤️ Why We Run:

The heart of Merry Miles is the act of giving—without expectation of anything in return. By bringing an unwrapped toy, you’re not only running for yourself but also running to brighten a child’s holiday season. This is a chance to give back, connect with your community, and make a positive difference during the most wonderful time of the year.
