A 5k run for De Pere K-6 public and private school students and their running buddies to benefit Hands Across De Pere - A non-profit supporting families in need in the Greater De Pere Community.
About RYHADP
Run Your Heart Across De Pere was created in 2020 as a way for De Pere elementary students to connect in a fun, healthy and purposeful way during virtual learning. Students trained virtually and shared their race day photos and accomplishments with each other while raising funds for Hands Across De Pere, a local non-profit assisting students and families in our community. The success of this inaugural year led the RYHADP team to continue the tradition, bringing the race and training groups back to in-person. The student participant group has now expanded to include ALL public AND private De Pere and West De Pere School District K-6 students and their families.
