The run started at 8am at the Walsh University Running track at Milazzo soccer field. There were classes and awards for girls under 14 years of age and 12 classes for runners of more than 14 years of age. Two waves of runners were released, separated by competitive runners and "Girls on the Run" girls, Running Buddies and walkers.

Thanks for the photos Rob! A huge THANK YOU too, to all the guys from the Jackson and North Canton running clubs who came and volunteered, the families who cheered the girls on and the running buddies who accompanied and encouraged the girls to stay plugged into the Sparkle (positive) cord and do their best as the completed 10 weeks of lessons and training. Way to go girls! I am so proud of all of you!
