The Wichita Girls Cross Country Club- Flying Angels were there in full force and sported the GlowBands and ran the 2 mile event in tremendously fast times.  Way to go girls!

We look forward to seeing everyone next year at the same event, so mark your calendars for this annual Wichita River Run RACE Charities’ “Go For Glory!” and keep posted with the events and plans for next spring’s big Wichita event!
