About the Event

1st Annual Back to School 5K Run/Walk

Lace up and make an impact at our 1st Annual Back to School 5K Run/Walk! This fun, family-friendly event brings our community together to help local students start the school year prepared and confident. Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are welcome to join us for a great cause.

Participants are encouraged to bring donations of school supplies and new or gently used shoes to support children in our community. Every mile you complete—and every item you give—helps provide the essentials students need to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

Together, we're putting sneakers on their feet, supplies in their hands, and smiles on their faces.
