to benefit the Southern Virginia Child Advocacy Center. Franklin County CASA - Court Appointed Special Advocates - is one of the programs within the child advocacy center that makes a difference in local children's lives.

Our goal is for the JOHNNY CASA 5-MILER/5K WALK to be a quality fundraiser that appeals to runners, walkers, and recreational athletes. We are confident that on September 6th, our third annual event will exceed the excitement and enjoyment expressed by participants in the 2007 race/walk. Proceeds from this event support services for children in Franklin County and will make a difference in the lives of area children.

Go The Distance To End Child Abuse

The 2007 event offered not only great weather but a greater turnout of both walkers and runners over last year. We look forward to what this year's event will offer. The course remains designed to allow runners the ability to race for speed and walkers to enjoy the gentle rolling hills and scenic beauty that LakeWatch Plantation offers.

Traditional races and walks move over....
