The event, held at Forsyth Country Day School in Lewisville, N.C., saw a total of 127 runners and walkers of all ages participating. With the support of 19 sponsors and over 40 volunteers, the event was able to make a significant impact in the community.

Each participant received a commemorative tie-dye t-shirt, adding to the festive atmosphere of the day.
