Another year of 5K Shuffling and Fun Running 1-Miles in the books!

We had a wonderful day this afternoon on our Sevier County Campus to wrap up this year's race series!

Mother Nature threw us a bone for both race days - and the memories we made on the courses were just as bright!

A huge shoutout to all of our sponsors, registrants, and participants for supporting the WS Foundation and making these events a blast to host year after year.

Keep an eye on our calendar as we plan more events throughout the rest of the year - we can't wait to see you back on campus next time!
