Community • Charity • Health

Join us for the HAPPY FEET RUN/WALK 5K, a community-driven event that brings people together for a meaningful cause while promoting health, inclusion, and shared responsibility.

Over the past few years, participants, volunteers, and supporters have helped grow this event into a welcoming community tradition. What began as a small local effort has steadily gained momentum and trust within the community.

Our mission is simple:
bring people together through movement while supporting underprivileged children and meaningful nonprofit causes.

Whether you are an experienced runner, a casual walker, or simply someone who enjoys being part of a positive community event, this race is designed for you.

RUN FOR A PURPOSE
All proceeds from the event support charitable causes that help underprivileged children both locally and internationally.

In past years, the event and its supporters have helped raise significant amount of donations providing assistance and opportunities for children who need it most. By participating, you are not only taking a step for your own health, but also helping create meaningful impact in the lives of others.

 
WHAT TO EXPECT ON RACE DAY
Participants can expect a welcoming and organized event that includes:

• 5K Run / Walk
• Kids participation options
• Community gathering atmosphere
• Light refreshments after the race
• Award recognition for top finishers
• Opportunities to meet fellow participants and volunteers

The event is organized by volunteers who believe strongly in giving back to the community while encouraging healthy and active lifestyles.

 
TRAINING IS OPTIONAL — PARTICIPATION IS WHAT MATTERS
You do not need to be a professional runner to participate. Many of our participants start preparing weeks or months in advance simply by walking, jogging, or training with friends and family.

Race day becomes a celebration of that effort.

 
JOIN THE COMMUNITY
Whether you are running for fitness, walking with friends, supporting a cause, or simply enjoying a Saturday morning outdoors, the HAPPY FEET RUN/WALK 5K welcomes you.

Your participation helps continue a growing community effort to support children in need while bringing people together through a shared experience.

We look forward to seeing you on race day.
