BIG SKY — The fifth annual 5- and 10-kilometer color run will celebrate the life of Harbor deWaard and will raise funds for Women in Action, the nonprofit organizing the event in partnership with Lone Peak High School’s chapter of the National Honor Society. The money raised will help provide scholarships for local children’s camps and community activities.
Harbor was
a 6-year-old boy who tragically passed away due to parainfluenza in January of
2015. The Harbor’s Hero Run race commemorates his life through his favorite
things; the event’s purple logo-represents his favorite color, capes and his
love of superheroes. The race also honors him by bringing the community
together for a festive event, embodying his cheerful spirit.
The race
will be followed by food, activities and music in Big Sky Town Center Park. There
will also be a shorter kids fun run.
