Now we're gearing up for next year's run! We're steppin' it up ... we want to invite you to come along and run with TobyMac! Just like last year, we are running to raise money for New Hope Academy, a multicultural school that is living out the beauty of diversity. But this year we'll be representin' as TEAM TOBYMAC aka 'The Freakazoids' (that's right!). This is a great opportunity to get in shape AND support the cause of New Hope through tobyMac's vision for diversity. Runners and walkers of ALL levels welcome!
