Awards will be presented to the fastest three times for both men and women, as well as in eight age groups. All participants under the age of 15 will receive a participation medal.

“Every Step Counts is an annual tradition for many, and we love how it brings people together to walk, bike, run and cheer each other on, “ said Tracy Lynott, Development Director, Bello Machre. “Proceeds from Every Step Counts will support children, teens, adults and seniors with developmental disabilities served by Bello Machre”.
