“Our vision for Skye Canyon was to build a community and cultivate a sense community. Our Fit Lives Here events like our 8K and 5K race enhance the active lifestyle experience of those living in Skye Canyon,” said Garry Goett, Chairman and CEO of Olympia Companies, developer of Skye Canyon. “This year’s event marks an important milestone for Skye Canyon as the community held its grand opening one year ago.
