Go Leo Go 5K
Join us for the 6th Annual Go Leo at the beautiful Saluda Shoals Park! This is an event for everyone with a 5k race, 1 mile family walk and a Lionheart Dash for special and exceptional athletes. Proceeds benefit Leo’s Pride Foundation. Halloween costumes encouraged with post-race games and activities! Leo's Pride Foundation began as a simple prayer/support page for Leo Bugenske, and has grown into a foundation that supports children and families affected by childhood diseases and disorders. We help provide durable medical equipment required for safe day to day activities and LEO grants for accessible vehicles. We are also advocates for an inclusive world where all children (and adults) are included and given the opportunity to participate. We have recently partnered with Saluda Shoals park to help raise funds for a universally inclusive playground for all ages and abilities. We are grateful for your support, and look forward to seeing you at the race as we continue to build a more inclusive community together!
