Come walk or run the "Stacks and Steps" Pancake Breakfast races on Saturday, April 11, 2026! This event is hosted by Downtown Ministries of Goshen, IN, an organization committed to loving our neighbor and serving our city. At Downtown Ministries, we empower individuals and families who have experienced poverty, addiction, unstable housing, and other difficult life circumstances. We believe every person has God-given potential, with unique gifts and talents that deserve to be developed. Proceeds from this race directly support our life-changing programs. When you register, you are helping provide shelter, mentorship, job training, and hope to families in our community.

We will be hosting a 2 mile, 1 mile, and half mile walk or run, with a pancake breakfast to follow.
