“This is a great event for people to come have fun and get a little exercise,” said director Mary Sheryl Horine.

“The energy generated by all the girls is downright inspiring. We’ve kept the registration fee very low hoping that kids, families and Appalachian students will want to join us and get active on a beautiful Saturday spring morning.”
