We receive funds based on weight and use that to provide even more sneakers. Also going on the day of the event will be an opportunity to meet and take pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus and eat donuts, and drink hot chocolate provided by Poppin Minis. We also will have raffle tickets and giveaways including tickets to see the Pride of Topeka John "The Iron Man" Cantrell's big fight. Whether you are a seasoned runner, just getting started, or want to bring the family out to support a great cause. we would love to have you out there. Don't forget to bring a used pair of shoes ( Oct. 9-dec.12) to Fleet Feet to get yourself a raffle ticket for a great prize. Also collecting used footwear the day of the event for other prizes.
