Race Purpose
The race began after a 16 year old member of the Lafollette High School Cross-Country team died in a tragic car accident 3 days before the start of the school year. Michael Neill was a passionate runner, a dedicated student, loving friend, and his passion was to help kids, so the No Fear All Fun Run/Walk was born.
The purpose of the run/walk is to raise money for LaFollette area Middle Schools running clubs and to form and fund a LaFollette Middle School Cross Country Team. Additionally, the event provides student scholarships for Sennett and Whitehorse 8th grade Washington DC trips.
We hope that you will come run/walk with us as a community partner and No Fear All Fun Trail Run Sponsor.
