The buzz and excitement of the Run for Hope Virtual 5K was evident as men, women, and children came out to run for not Acacia of Hope in the comfort of their homes.

Almost 90 walkers and runners took to the 3.1 miles in their own way . . . running outside, walking in place, and even on the treadmill!

We are proud of our first place man and woman who ran the race.
