Run for Hope, Stand for Change 

The 10th Annual Foster5K celebrates a decade of community impact. Amidst a critical funding crisis, your participation ensures we can continue providing advocates for foster youth who have experienced trauma. On Sunday, May 17, 2026, we gather at Martial Cottle Park to turn steps into hope.

Ways to Move:

• 5K Run/Walk: A chip-timed, USATF Certified 5K Course for all ages and abilities at Martial Cottle Park.
• Kids Dash: Featuring a "Big Kids Dash" (ages 6–10) and "Little Kids Dash" (ages 5 and under).
• All Dashers get a goodie bag at the finish line!

Whether you sprint, jog, or skip, you are running for their future. Join us and stand for change!
