Seeking volunteer “horses” to run in our annual prestigious Human Hourse Races
2 races – under age 50 (the Foals) followed by the age 50+ (the Thoroughbreds)
Requirements: You must raise $ (goal $1000 per horse),
get in a horse suit,
run down the homestretch in 2- 4 inches of mud
in front of 80,000 people,
hope to make it to the finish line…
and win absolutely nothing but the satisfaction of helping others!
All money raised will be donated to
