Since our first 5K in 2014, our supporters have helped us provide 85 scholarships, free ACT/SAT workshops to over 100 high school juniors and seniors, add financial education to our local middle and high schools curriculum, and provide books for underserved children residing in shelters. Our students need us now more than ever!
We are committed to our mission of serving the community. We are grateful for your support and participation.
We are inviting you to join us at Jess Lucas Park or from wherever you are and REPRESENT YOURSELF! You may walk, run, jog or trot with us in Hapeville or do it virtually on any 5K course you like - even on your treadmill or in your neighborhood.
This family friendly experience is perfect for runners and walkers of all skill levels and ages. All of the proceeds go towards scholarships and our educational programs.
We're bringing back our amazing pre-5k experience, Kids Fun Run, live DJ, and of course - Fun After the Run! If you are a virtual participant, you'll feel like you're with us as we stream from Hapeville. It's going to be just as much fun as it's always been!
Thank you for continuing to support our goal of supporting students from coast to coast.
