Background Information:

This race was created in support of Kennedy Rylin Osmulski and her family. Kennedy has a rare genetic neuromuscular disorder called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).

In order to join in this show of support, the Lynchburg Road Runners Club, under the direction of experienced race directors Kevin Shroyer and assisted by Malcolm Miller, will offer a unique opportunity for the Central Virginia community to come together and participate in a one mile track event. 

Follow Kennedy and her family on facebook at "Kennedy's Journey With SMA".
