This event benefits the Tim Tebow Foundation, which serves some of the Most Vulnerable children- including those affected by sexual abuse, human trafficking, special needs, and serious medical conditions. Our goal is simple: to shine a light in dark places and make a lasting impact through faith, community, and action. Your registration fee helps cover event costs such as race t-shirts and logistics.
