Following the Gerald Adams Elementary School stop, participants will then run to the Sheriff’s Office headquarters building on Stock Island for a brief stop and then on to the new Publix in Key Plaza.

The run will continue to Poinciana School, Grace Lutheran Church, Key West High School, Horace O’Bryant School, the MARC House and The Basilica School of Saint Mary Star of the Sea.
