About this race

For the past 11 years, Lynchburg Road Runners Club and Type 1 Diabetes Experience (T1DE) have hosted this race to provide support for local families living with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes.

In addition, Community Access Network provides exceptional, comprehensive, quality, and compassionate healthcare to every member of our community.ย
