Welcome to Abilities Movement’s Second Annual BE YOU Run, Walk and Wheel Charity Race! This race is for individuals of all fitness levels and abilities to join together for a 5K race/1.25 mile walk that truly represents connection, community, fitness, and fun!
This race is being run on memory of Stephanie Krusch-
Stephanie was my precious daughter, a devoted granddaughter, a loving sister and a dear friend. She was also a young woman with many challenges, like many of you. She never let those challenges define or limit her. Running was her passion, and what she wanted most was to encourage and inspire people of all abilities to love the sport and participate in it. Her life ended way too early, but even on the last day of her life she ran in the Jungle Jog 5K. This 5K is dedicated to her life, her passion for running, and to all of you. Let it serve to be an inspiration to be your best, to try your hardest, and to never give up!
