This event is a fun, healthy way for the community to create awareness and uphold intolerance for sexual violence against women and children in honor of Dru Sjodin’s life.
Purple Elephant: The elephant is a strong and compassionate mammal. They are also extremely loving and sensitive toward their young. Dru loved this about them, which was the reason she wore a purple elephant tattoo and why the race is named, The Purple Elephant 10k/5k. To visit "Dru's Voice" website, click here.
