    Our why: If there were ever a person who symbolized light, Sims Vickers was it. He was so kind, caring, outgoing, and fun. Sims life ended much too soon on March 27, 2022. Today, one year after his passing, we are announcing the Let It Shine 5K. This event is our attempt to continue spreading Sims' light with a world that needs it. He loved being active and could often be seen running laps in the YAB as part of his training. So, we will run or walk this race however we can in remembrance of such a special guy. We hope you will join with us in letting our light shine into the darkness that many young people experience with love for and in memory of Sims.

    Funds raised by this 5K will be donated to the Bradley Center's Adolescent Unit to help young people experiencing mental health challenges. It is our hope to prevent another tragic loss in memory and honor of Sims.

For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...

Though we try to be accurate and on top of things... Race details can change when we aren't lookin. And once in a while we simply make a mistake.
