Brief Description

The purpose of this event is to gather the Baton Rouge community together to participate in a 5K and/or 1M walk/run to benefit Operation Smile. Our theme is "Light up the Night." Participants are encouraged to be as creative as they want by incorporating lights and other glowing objects to make their running gear as bright and loud as possible. So as the night falls, attention will be on the supporting families that are lighting up the night by running and walking for Operation Smile.
