Run For Dreams will take place on October 12, 2017, and students from across the Columbia Valley are invited to participate by collecting pledges, and running 1, 3 or 5 KMs on the new Westside Legacy Trail. Rocky Mountain School District 6 is supporting the race by bussing up to 1,000 kids to the trailhead.
