Welcome to the
Community Foundation Run!
On the day of the Run, over 5,000 people come together for one of the biggest celebrations of community spirit and support in the county. The day is filled with a 5k Run and 2k Fun Walk, entertainment, games, food and informational booths. The magic of a community celebration, combined with ease of giving has increased awareness about the work of local organizations and has enabled them to raise nearly over $20 million in the last nineteen years.

Race Day Registration: Race day registration and packet pickup will be available on April 9 from 6:30am - 8:00am at home base on the field inside the Caromont Health Park.
