Mother’s Day 5K Run & Walk
Lace up and celebrate the moms who go the extra mile! Join us on May 9th at 9am for a beautiful run along the Van Tuyl Trail, tucked just northwest of Gunnison behind the Gunnison Middle School. It’s the perfect way to honor the moms, mother figures, and women who inspire us-whether you’re running for them, with them, or in memory of them. We’ll provide bibs on race day, and enjoy refreshments and a chance to connect with others celebrating the day afterwards. All proceeds support the American Mothers Organization, uplifting mothers and families across the country.
