Bensky’s Race: Kids Fun Run (WILLMAR, MN)
The Kids Fun Run will be held prior to the Promise 5K at Robbins Island Regional Park. This Kids Fun Run is named in honor of a boy named Bensky. Bensky lived much of his life at COTP, and during that time, he found his purpose. Even though he couldn’t walk, he lived a life of motion and impact. Bensky tragically passed away in 2021, and his life left a mark on many!
