Run to Support Ukrainian Refugees!
On February 24, Russia attacked Ukraine. As a result, millions of Ukrainians have fled their homes in search of safety, with many more expected to follow. Our hearts are hurting for the people of Ukraine. So many of us want to help, but we don’t know how.
One thing we know how to do is run (and walk). We can race for the people of Ukraine and raise money to help the relief efforts. We invite you to join our Inspiring Hope for Ukraine 5K. All proceeds will be donated to Christian churches who are on the front lines helping in the Ukraine providing food, water, hygiene kits, and other necessary assistance.
We know that coming together we can help make a difference.
This is a paved, trail race through beautiful Chestnut Branch Park, Mantua, NJ. It is a relatively flat course. There is also a 1-mile fun run/walk and a virtual run.
All registrants will receive a unique, custom designed "Inspiring Hope for Ukraine" race shirt if registered by Monday, May 2nd. Registrations confirmed after May 2nd will receive shirts on the basis of availability. Participants in the 5K can compete for overall and age group medals.
