“Life is not about the length of time we live, it’s about the way we live in the length of time we’re given.”

1st Annual sMiles 4 Sammy Family Fun Run & 5K
200 Vista Ridge Bldv., Cedar Park, TX 78613

Thank you for participating in our 1st Annual sMiles 4 Sammy Fun Run & 5K! Proceeds from the race will be used to help build an all abilities baseball field in Williamson County for children with special needs. The sMiles 4 Sammy Team was created in loving memory of Samantha Scott. She lived for 10 months with trisomy 18, a condition considered incompatible with life. Sammy taught her family and those around her that every day is a gift and that you don’t have to be old or famous to make a difference. Riding in her jogging stroller was one of Samantha’s favorite things to do…she traveled many miles in her stroller and smiled the whole time! sMiles 4 Sammy as the team name just seemed perfect! We are excited to hold this race to honor the life that Samantha lived!

We would love to have you join us for the 1^st Annual sMiles 4 Sammy Family Fun Run & 5K on Saturday, May 26^th and REGISTER NOW!

Run, jog, walk or stroll to raise money to build an all abilities baseball field right here in Williamson County for children with special needs!

The untimed runner, walker, and/or stroller will use the same course or may use the track if a shorter route is preferred. Any youngster (or the young at heart) that is registered for the race is invited to participate in the 1K Ranger Trek with the Ranger athletes following the 5K!
