Annual running of the “Connor Luke Hayes Memorial 5K” Hosted by the “CLStrong Foundation.”  Saturday morning – April 22nd. 2023 – 8:00 AM – Calhoun City Recreation Department (Park) – Located at 10 McDaniel Station Rd, Calhoun, GA 30701.  If you missed Year 1 - don't make that same mistake twice!! Please Join us!  Race proceeds go to benefit the CLStrong Foundation whose mission is to honor our beloved Connor Luke Hayes. The Foundation hopes to be an example of “loving big’” just like Connor Luke did! An event of this nature will continue to allow the Foundation to give back to a community who showed such amazing love and support to our family throughout Connor’s journey.  Our goal is simple....To raise money for the foundation, while also bringing awareness to childhood cancer, particularly High-Risk Neuroblastoma. Funds raised through the CLStrong Foundation will go toward scholarships for local students in Gordon County Schools and Calhoun City Schools, helping families dealing with childhood illnesses, and local community service projects, all while honoring Connor’s memory. Thank you for the support and God bless!  Who was Connor Luke Hayes?  Connor Luke was an intelligent, fun-loving, care-free spirit who wasn’t afraid to speak his mind. Despite his diagnosis of High-Risk Neuroblastoma and end stage renal failure, he loved big and always wanted to give to others. He loved his family, his brother and his cousins. He loved Notre Dame football, the Sonoraville Phoenix, John Deere Gator rides, swimming, swinging and baseball. He was a light and inspiration to all who crossed his path and those who followed his story. CLStrong Forever! 🤟 Registration:
