Short review

8th Annual Classic 5k , 5 Mile (our newest event!) & 1 Mile Trail Run with Hill Top Finish! Sunday November 7, 2021

Friends/Supporters/Volunteers of Lauren's Rainbow Run & Lauren's One Wish,

As you know we went Virtual in 2020, with all the uncertainty regarding the COVID virus and the many variables involved in our race, we postponed our 7th Annual Lauren's Rainbow Run.  The community gathering w/ food and live music and finish at the hilltop - makes us one of the most unique races in the area...it's our hope that 2021 will see more comfortable gatherings for races like ours - we will be back bigger and better! - pls mark your calendar and join us on Sunday, November 7, 2021 for the 8th Annual Lauren's Rainbow Run Classic 5k, 5 Mile & 1 Mile.

This 5k is the only fundraiser we hold!

Pls join us a on the hill or as a Virtual Participant. We remain committed to our core mission of helping teens/kids affected by cancer with our "Life Interrupted" grants, our sponsorship of the Day Use Room at the Ronald McDonald House in St. Pete and the continued support of the Sandwich Grab N Go program at both the Ronald McDonald House and key areas of Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital.  Your participation allows us to fuel Lauren's wishes to help other youth affected by cancer.  

With Appreciation -Lauren's One Wish Team <3
