Part I
About this event
"Break the Cycle" at Gordon Park is more than just a run; it's an engaging way to support foster care awareness. Participants can walk, jog, or roll through a .33-mile course designed to simulate the challenges faced by children in foster care. With disruption zones that add a playful twist, this event offers a unique perspective on the foster care experience.
After completing the course, enjoy the "home zone" with refreshments, games, and music. It's a family-friendly event that combines fun with a cause, making it a perfect outing for all ages. Early registration is recommended to secure a spot and save on fees.
