This year our theme is decades run! Pick and dress in your favorite decade outfit - 70s, 80s, 90s, etc. Sign up as a team and enjoy discounted registration pricing. Create your own team name. Or pick one of ours - Team Caring, Understanding, Friendship, Respect, Inclusion, Open Hearts, Love, Encouragement, Belonging, Acceptance, Positivity, and Advocacy. Enjoy a run through the wooded/shaded trails and along the lake, a hydration station with exciting flavors, music, complimentary face painting, balloon art, ice cream, playground, local partners, and a silent auction - all in a beautiful park setting.
Funds raised support inclusive sports for kids with and without disabilities - past events include basketball, soccer, swimming, and tennis. We also raise disability inclusion awareness in our community through events such as The Charlotte Knights Community Corner, Charlottetowne Hops, Girl Scout Troops, After School Programs, parades, run clubs, therapy offices, concerts, and disability inclusion proclamations at Town Council meetings. We have our inclusive week of basketball camp June 29-July 2. Your participation helps make events like these possible. And helps us continue to spread our message of inclusion and kindness.
REGISTER NOW! This is a cause you can be proud to support!
The vision for Let's Include Landon is to bring children with and without disabilities together - not just for a day of an event, or a week of camp, but to create lifelong friendships. At each of our sports events we have teambuilding components where all children participating work together. We are helping create a culture of positive perceptions, value, and belonging for all children in our community.
