The Rikki-Lynn Warrior Foundation 5k Walk & Run

Purpose

This 5k will be the first official event hosted by the Rikki-Lynn Warrior Foundation! The event brings our community together to honor Rikki-Lynn’s life and the strength she showed every day. Funds raised will help support future community events and initiatives, including a scholarship for a student-athlete who plays where Rikki-Lynn once played.
