Strong Heart Trail Trot

This no-frills race comes from the heart and gets you out on the trails to help a member of our great community. The #1 purpose to raise funds to assist members of our community.

Drinks and refreshments will be provided after the race with a small cash prize for the top 2 Male and the top 2 Female finishers. Please consider coming out to this great charitable event and experience a cool (not literally) off-road 2-mile race.

Our mission is to keep the summer trail run alive each year identifying a member of our community who we can spotlight and offer assistance to. 

Through our first 4 trail trot events (2015- 2019) we've raised over $10,387, all of which goes directly to assisting the recipient families.

$2,000 was raised at our 5th Year event to help Brooklyn continue her fight!

We were able to help Brooklyn Verdin, from Bourg, LA, who was born with a very rare developmental birth defect called Schizencephaly. She was also born with another rare condition called Aplasia Cutis Congenita. This precious little girl is stronger than anyone we've ever met.

$3,500 was raised to keep Holden full of hope.

Our 4th edition of this event helped a special little 4 year old who is battling Paraspinal Rhabdoid Sarcoma, a very rare form of cancer. Holden has also survived multiple open heart surgeries. He is a very special and very brave little man.

Strong Heart Trail Trot - 2017
 

$1,200 was raised to help Keith Strong! :-)

At 4 1/2 years old, Keith "Strong" has been through so much. He is a fighter and has more strength that can be imagined. Diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) when he was 3 years old, Keith is fighting the toughest fight of all.
