This family fun run, hosted by
the Shannon Wilker Foundation, raises
funds to support local cancer patients
and their families in memory of Shannon
Wilker who passed away in 2011 from
breast cancer.
The participants were encouraged to
come dressed as their favorite superhero or
"alter-ego" just as they did for the inaugural
run in 2018.
"My favorite part of the race last year
would've been the families dressed up as
superheroes," said Shane Wilker, widower
of Shannon and founder of the Shannon
Wilker Foundation. "My favorite costume
would have probably been the family that
was dressed up as the Incredibles."
Wilker also participated in the first year
dressed as his alter-ego Star Lord and said,
"I was pretty heroic, just so you know."
The June 2019 race included routes for
one mile, 5K and 10K races with options for
a "run or walk."
