The third Endure the Dirt 5K Adventure Run was held Saturday just north of Mack’s Prairie Wings in Stuttgart. The event brings awareness to the cancer journey while raising money for the local nonprofit organization Personal Pep Rally to provide services for cancer patients nationwide.
Leslie Bednar, event committee chair, said the event had over 300 entries this year with about half of those entries participating virtually through the Now We Sprint 25-mile Run. While the in-person event was smaller than the one planned last year, which was canceled due to the pandemic, this year’s Endure the Dirt was successful at bringing the community together to raise money to benefit those with cancer.
