Come out and join us!  Registration is already OPEN for some events, and will be coming soon for others.  Check back for more updates!

Rockstar Run 8K and 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk
Sunday, April 18, 2010 at 8:00 AM
Burke Centre Shopping Centre, Burke, VA

The Rockstar Race benefits the Celebrate Cherie Scholarship Fund. Cherie Yadao, a physical therapist and manager for Commonwealth Orthopedics had her life cut short on August 29, 2009 at age 35 after a valiant fight against a rare cancer, extra pulmonary small cell carcinoma. To the end, Cherie lived her life to the fullest and touched so many lives in the process.   To know Cherie is to understand her favorite saying "Party like a Rockstar". The Rockstar Run 8K/1 mile fun run/walk celebrates the essence of Cherie -- her spirit of adventure, her tenacity, and her insatiable zest for life. Proceeds from this race will go to the Celebrate Cherie Scholarship Fund to help physical therapy students pursue their dream of helping others as Cherie did.  The Rockstar Run 8k will run through scenic Burke Centre, using Burke Centre Parkway.  Music, food, prizes following the race; join us and bring your family for a great event!
