The 9th Annual Run in the Dark is a 1-mile fun run and 5K run/walk down Bear Creek Parkway in Keller. This is a community event to raise funds for the children in our service area of Keller and Northwest ISD. In 2007, the support of 25 corporate sponsors, over 1,300 runners and 2,000 spectators allowed Community Storehouse to raise over $45,000 to help the children in our community.
