Run together. Run with purpose.
How does the 5K run work? After registration, participants receive a race shirt and all pertinent information about the event. During race week, participants may run or walk a 5K on their own, with family, or roommates (including those who are four-legged). Participants will enter their times and photos into a race results website. Prizes will be mailed to winners within various race categories.
Is October 11th the only time that participants will be walking or running? In short, no! We will ask participants to consider joining the Light from Light community in a 5K on the morning of October 11th in an act of solidarity; however, we will accept “official” times that are submitted anytime between October 1-12.
What does the 5K benefit? All proceeds from this 5K will benefit Light from Light, a nonprofit organization that partners with local leaders to provide healthcare and nutrition to the most vulnerable communities in Haiti. We walk and work alongside proven leaders at the Lespwa Timoun “Hope for Children” Clinic, empowering them to build and sustain long-lasting change.
Why your sponsorship matters! We are excited to offer our 5K event again this year to our entire Light from Light community. This will provide an opportunity for sponsors to:
