The JK5K is more than a race — it’s a community coming together to lift up families during their hardest moments. This first annual Run/Walk fundraiser supports grieving families who have suffered the unexpected loss of a parent.
Every step taken helps provide emotional and financial support to families navigating unimaginable loss. By participating, you’re helping us continue our mission of offering comfort, stability, and hope when it’s needed most.
Join us as we honor loved ones, celebrate resilience, and make a meaningful difference for families in need.
*When signing up please answer the shirts size question to ensure you get the correct size you need.*
