Crowd of runners at the start of a community 10K in a city park

When we planned our first community 10K, we hoped for 200 runners. Six hundred of you registered, and the waitlist was longer than the start corral.

Every pace welcome

Our youngest finisher was 9 and our oldest was 81. Pace groups ranged from 6-minute miles to a walking group that finished with the biggest cheers of the day.

Running is better together. That was the whole point.

Giving back

Every entry fee went to local youth running programs. Together we raised $18,400 for new shoes and coaching for kids across the city.

See you next year

We are already planning two more races for 2027. Sign up for our newsletter to be first in line.
