LET ME RUN FALL 2024 5K
So proud of our GFES Let Me Run boys! They completed their end of season 5k at the Fairfax Veterans Day 5k. It was such an honor to be there with this group of boys and to honor our service members!
They left it all out on the course and exceeded all of their goals they set for themselves over the course of the season! We are sad the season has come to an end but look forward for Spring 2025!
