5k to Feed the 5k

Join us for the 5K to Feed the 5K—an exciting and meaningful Easter fun-run hosted by the Gavilan Peak Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! This family-friendly event combines fitness, community spirit, and the joy of giving. Just as Christ used the miracle of the five loaves and two fish to feed the masses, we’re coming together to help feed those in need in our community. Runners will participate in a 5K fun run, with the goal of helping collect for our local food pantry. The entry fee is just 10 items per runner, so bring your donations and run with a purpose!

For those who may not be ready for the 5K or prefer something family-friendly, we’re excited to offer a special Half-Mile Riddle Run! This fun, interactive activity takes participants on a scavenger hunt where they'll solve faith-centered riddles at each station. Along the way, families and kids will discover more about Christ and the reason we celebrate Easter. The Riddle Run will stay entirely on church property, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants. The entry fee is just 10 items per family for our Riddle Run.

After the race, the fun continues with an Easter egg hunt for kids of all ages! 

 

Enjoy a morning filled with fitness, fellowship, and the joy of giving back to our community. Proceeds from the race help provide meals for families in need as we enter Holy Week and prepare our hearts for Easter.

 

Please note: This event is designed to be a fun run, not a competitive race. We'll be running on sidewalks, so please follow all traffic and pedestrian rules for safety. Whether you’re walking, jogging, or running, we’re all here to have fun, support a great cause, and enjoy a wonderful Easter weekend together!
