Davidson Cares’ second annual race, the Davidson Cares’ Leprechaun Chase 10k/5k and Kid’s Fun Run, was a hit with our schools, running clubs, local competitive runners and World Golf Village neighbors! The race took place on Saturday, March 7th at 9 am in World Golf Village’s town center. Between the race and Davidson Cares’ First Annual Cooler & Cocktail Raffle, over $5,000 was raised for Mill Creek Elementary, Wards Creek Elementary, Palencia Elementary, Pacetti Bay Middle School and Nease High School.

There were over 200 runners and walkers present, as well as over 40 children participating in the kid’s one mile Fun Run around the Walk of Champions. The weather could not have been more perfect for a nice jog!
