Get ready, Monroe! The LEGACY Color Run is coming to our vibrant city, offering 10K, 5K, and "Fun Run" options that cater to all ages and fitness levels. This exciting event not only promotes health and community spirit but also serves as a fundraiser for two significant causes: NELA Teacher Symposium: Half of the proceeds from the race registration will support this annual event dedicated to inspiring and empowering educators in Northeast Louisiana. Tarver Braddock Foundation: The recipient of the remaining half of the proceeds will be the Tarver Braddock Foundation. The mission of The Tarver Braddock Foundation is to carry out Tarver's legacy by spreading love, laughter, and happiness through random acts of kindness. Join us for a day filled with color, camaraderie, and community support. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun activity with family and friends, the LEGACY Color Run promises an unforgettable experience. PACKET PICK UP : July 16 from 10am - 4pm at FL
