Smiles for Sophie Forever Birthday Bash and Dash - Avon Lake, Ohio - Running

The Smiles for Sophie Forever Birthday Bash and Dash is a Running race in Avon Lake, Ohio consisting of a 1.5 Miles and 5K.

Welcome to the Annual Birthday Bash and Dash! Again, we invite you to begin celebrating your freedom on the Fourth of July with us and help us realize the possibility of one day celebrating every child's freedom from pediatric brain cancer. The Birthday Bash and Dash is a great way to kick off your 4th of July holiday. The celebration of our nation and the birthday of Sophie Quayle, whose memory the event honors, will begin at 9:00 a.m. with the 5K and 1.5 mile run/walk. The course will travel the same roads Sophie traveled in her short life, and will again pass by her home on Leeward Court. Typical and traditional birthday party fun, after the run/walk will feature activities for the children. Face-painting, bounce houses, a 50-yd dash, a kids' obstacle course, and more will provide entertainment for the little ones. A wrist-band donation for each non-race registered child will guarantee participation in all the special activities. Food and refreshments will also be available for purchase. No birthday celebration would be complete without cupcakes, which will bring an end to the party. By noon, all participants will be ready to continue their holiday at home with family and friends.
