The Inaugural running of the Myakka River Half Marathon/5K was a tremendous success! The 2nd annual “Run for the Memories” will be even more amazing!
Saturday November 12, 2016 at the Myakka River State Park
The race is being hosted by Tracy and Kim Hussey’s foundation, The Florida Compassion Foundation. The FCF helps the families of Alzheimer’s Patients with expenses not covered by insurances. Working closely with the Florida Gulf Coast Chapter of the Alzheimers Association, they team up to show compassion when it seems there is no hope. Your entry into this race will really make a difference for a family in need.
