Miles for Miracles Fun Run/Walk 🏃♀️✨
Lace up and feel good twice—once from the workout, and once from helping others. The Miles for Miracles Fun Run/Walk (Sat, Sept 20 in North Palm) is back for its second year. Choose a 1, 2, or 3-mile course, enjoy a morning stroll or jog, and finish with breakfast on the house. All proceeds benefit Mia’s Miracles Foundation, so your steps truly matter.
Here’s how to participate:
Register for the run/walk online
Pick your distance (1, 2, or 3 miles)
Cross the finish line, grab breakfast, and celebrate for a cause
