Betty Butler Memorial 31st Annual Unity Run 2024

This year's Unity Run 5K has been dedicated to the memory of Betty Butler.  Betty was an avid walker who competed in more than twenty Unity Runs.  She won her age division for the last time in 2022 at the age of 83.  Betty walked ten miles a day, six days a week.  She is an inspiration for staying fit and active, which is what Unity Run is all about.  We are honored to dedicate this year's race and our annual races here after to her memory. 

This family-friendly event brings the entire community together. This year will have a Groovy 70s theme.  Racers and spectators are encouraged to dress the part with prizes awarded to the most Groovy racers.  Our event DJ will be spinning Groovy tracks for your enjoyment to help everyone get in the groove.  Vendors and kid activities will also be on-site.  There will also be food and drink items available for purchase before and after the race.
