Race along with us at your normal running spot and share your experience through social media at #cleftstrong5k.  Round up your area's craniofacial community to join together as virtual racers for a chance to win our largest virtual race team prize!  A race packet will be sent your way complete with this year's awesome race day shirt when you register as a virtual racer by September 12th.
