Easter Egg Hunt
If the thrill of running around the lake and eating cookies is not
enough to motivate your kids to participate, then how about the lure of
the post-run Easter Egg Hunt!?
This event memorializes Mr. Gavin Fletcher who died at too young an
age. He was a well known sports columnist, a member of ROC, a husband
and father.
His family values were paramount but his love of good fun competition in sports was unequaled.
It
is with this intent that we fashion The Fletcher's Challenge, held each
year on Good Friday, open to both runners and walkers.
It is about participation, having fun and enjoying some physical activity with your family.
