From the organizers
5 K Run (Chip Timed)/1 Mile Fun Run (New this year is the option of running virtually)
Our continuing goal is to provide clean and safe drinking water, education, and food security for the rural regions of Sierra Leone. Dirty water threatens lives and destroys livelihoods on a devastating scale. Additionally, severe issues will help maintain the clean water wells already in place and the provision of nutritious food in the newly built schools in the Bo Region. Our Garland Community continues our partnership with Seven Hills Global Outreach and Zion Ministries in Sierra Leone as we support this life-changing endeavor.
