Fun run with a great purpose.
This is the prime fundraiser for the ongoing Nepal Village School Project. Proceeds from this ongoing project have built a new three-story Regional Secondary School building in a remote hill village in Nepal. Race Director Lee Pollock spent two years in this village as a Peace Corps teacher in the 1970s. Current new goals include improved sanitation and clean water for the school, a library, and increased computer and internet access.
Visit the race website for more information and register online.
