Natalie Meyers was diagnosed with a very rare autoimmune disease. It attacked her lungs and she was unable to breathe on her own. Anti-synthetase is extremely rare and can often be misdiagnosed. It usually presents with other disease such as the case with Natalie. She also has myositis, Reynaud's and intersistial lung disease. As with all auto-immune diseases there is no cure only the possiblity of control and remission. This 5K race, 1 mile fun walk and kids fun run is one way that we can help Natalie focus on her treatment, her son and their future. With your help we can take a little pressure off of Natalie and her family as they work hard to give Natalie what she needs to have a great life.

Course Information:

The 5K Course is a combination of hills on a trail and a flat paved section. 

Please look at the race map on our website (http://kickassfornatalie5k.yolasite.com/race-day-information.php) and follow these directions:

Begin the race at the Yellow peg, as you get to the yellow line intersection make a right and proceed down hill. The long yellow line is a slight up hill but is mostly flat. Then there is a steep up hill followed by a few ups and downs. 
When you get back to the yellow line intersection go back toward the start line (follow the pink line).

Once you have ran the pink loop run the yellow loop the same way again.
When you get back to the yellow line intersection go back toward the start line (follow the blue line).

The end of the blue line is slightly different than the pink. You will finish the race slightly past the Dance Hall.
