_ The 2022 Spring Clean Sprint:
 

Benefitting Dorcas Ministries Food Pantry & Charity Shop

The Spring Clean Sprint celebrates warmer weather on the way and getting started on clearing away the winter clutter. There's no better way than to celebrate spring with friends and family, so clear out your pantry and closet, grab a running buddy, and get to the start line! We will take your donated food and clothing items and deliver them to Dorcas Ministry's food pantry, clothing drive, and charity store. 

We will be collecting food items (cans and other dry goods) and lightly used clothing and shoes. Collection bins will be available at check-in on race day. 

Invite your friends and family to run together!

The Spring Clean Sprint is part of Fit & Able's Free-for-All Race Series.
