The Amber Room Colonnade’s 6th Annual Run from the Sun 5k (3.1 miles) will begin at 6:30pm on August 21 to benefit Ann’s Place’s cancer support services. Come run or walk, take in the scenic course, and then enjoy the Amber Room’s post-race BBQ offering cold beverages, music and an awards ceremony. The race is professionally managed by JB Sports.

 Participants that collect at least $100 in pledges will have their race participation fee waived. Those that raise at least $250 in pledges will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win one of many prizes.
