Join us for a meaningful 5K dedicated to supporting children in the Dominican Republic with school supplies and backpacks for the upcoming school year. Every step taken helps provide resources that can make a real impact in a child’s education and future. This event is also about more than just running. It’s about challenging yourself, breaking through mental barriers, and proving to yourself that growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone. Whether you’re an experienced runner or taking on your first 5K, this is an opportunity to move with purpose alongside a community driven by growth, resilience, and positive impact. We hope every runner leaves feeling accomplished, empowered, and motivated to continue pushing themselves forward in all aspects of life.
