Join the fifth annual Run for the Fatherless 5k & Fun Run, an inspiring event that supports Hope for the Fatherless in Ethiopia. This race aims to raise crucial funds to help end the orphan crisis by providing orphans and vulnerable children with loving families through reunification, kinship placement, domestic adoption, or small group homes. The scenic 5k course is designed not just as a run but as an experience that connects runners from all walks of life. Participants will be treated to timed races where top finishers in each age category receive medals for their hard work and dedication. Age categories include Overall Male & Female, 14 & Under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+. In addition to the competitive spirit of the race, there is also a one-mile Fun Run for those looking to participate in a more relaxed setting. The event promises an atmosphere filled with community support and a shared goal of making a difference in the lives of Ethiopia's most vulnerable children. Whether you're an avid runner or just starting out, this run offers something special that goes beyond personal achievement – it’s about coming together for a cause greater than yourself. Join us to be part of a movement dedicated to giving every child a chance at a better future.
