RACE HISTORY
2010 marks the 7th Annual
Valentine Run, a new and improved event in the tradition of John
McIntosh's Ol' Fun Runs begun in 1976 that started and finished at
McIntosh’s Sports Cottage. Participants contributed between $.50 and
$1.00 to support local charities. Valentine Run participants still race on
part of the Ol' Fun Run course and still help make a difference in the
lives of the people that LSNC serves. Whether you are new to the
Valentine Run or a long-time supporter, we thank you in advance for your
participation!
Please join us!
Together we can stabilize the communities where our kids live and go to
school. Run, walk, and collect pledges for the cause.
