Ready, Set… Sign Up! Our favorite Sunday in September is back!! Lace up your sneakers, stretch out those hammies, and get ready to run (or walk… or wobble) your way through the most fun you can have on two feet! We have a new course this year, and even more post-race fun that you will not want to miss! So whether you're chasing a new personal record or just here for the T-shirt and post-race snacks, our Mary Queen of Peace 1-Mile Fun Run & 5K are the perfect excuse to break a sweat, make some memories, and support a great cause. Fast feet? Fantastic! Slow stroll? Perfection! Only running for beer and bratwurst? Whatever it takes! We support you! Cross the finish line and roll right into Bratfest , our much-loved MQP tradition packed with food, fun, and fellowship. And for our grown-up participants (21+), your finish line victory comes with a complimentary beer — because hydration comes in many forms. Grab your running shoes, rally your friends and family, and sign up today to be part of something special. It’s not just our second annual race — it’s a parish party in motion! 5k Race 1-mile Fun Run Bratfest immediately after Complimentary beer for 21+ finishers Endless parish pride For those interested in running the 5K and also wanting to participate/chaperone in the 1-mile fun run with their child(ren), only one race registration per adult is needed Interested in being a sponsor?
