The Inside Out Sports Classic, now in its 9th year, is one of the
Triangle’s premier distance runs. Last year over 1,300 runners registered
for this event which is produced by the North Carolina Roadrunners Club
with the support of Inside Out Sports and other sponsors. A portion of
the race proceeds will be given to the Tammy Lynn Center for Developmental
Disabilities, a non-profit agency offering educational, residential, and
family support services to children and adults with special needs.
For those who wish to make an additional donation to this worthwhile charity,
there is a place to do that on the entry form.
