Lace Up for a Cause: For A Better Tomorrow 5K & 2K
Run. Walk. Explore. Make an Impact.
Join us for the For A Better Tomorrow 5K Run & 2K Walk—a fun and inspiring community event where every step supports youth in our community.
This year, we’re proud to partner with Project OZ, whose mission is to help young people build a foundation of safety, opportunity, and well-being—especially for youth experiencing homelessness.
Whether you're chasing a new personal best, walking with friends and family, or simply enjoying a beautiful day outdoors, this event welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels.
But this year, there’s even more to discover…
🚀 Introducing STEAM Quest
Along the course and around the event area, participants can explore STEAM Quest—an interactive experience featuring quick challenges and activities inspired by Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.
Perfect for kids, families, and curious minds of all ages, STEAM Quest adds an element of discovery and learning to race day.
