Benefitting: Heaven's Cradle
A New Venue. A New but Meaningful Date. The Same Heart.
Join us on October 15, 2026, for the Heaven’s Cradle Twilight Run & Sunset Rendezvous — now hosted at beautiful Union University.
This year’s event carries even deeper meaning as we intentionally gather on Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day, observed annually on October 15th around the world. Together beneath the twilight sky, we will honor babies deeply loved and forever remembered while surrounding families with hope, compassion, and community.
Our new venue at Union University offers a scenic race setting, expanded gathering spaces, and an even more memorable evening experience for participants and supporters alike.
Whether you run, walk, volunteer, sponsor, or simply come to remember, every step taken during the Twilight Run makes a difference. Your participation helps Heaven's Cradle continue to provide essential resources and support to families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss throughout West Tennessee. With your help, Heaven's Cradle is able to provide caring cradles so families have a little extra time with their babies, assistance with memorial and funeral arrangements, access to grief counseling and therapy, as well as ongoing care, compassion and community support. So please join us for this year's Twilight Run & Sunset Rendezvous- an event where every step counts!
The evening will include:
- Timed 5K Run
- 1 Mile Fun Walk
- Post-race meal and fellowship
- Sunset gathering atmosphere
- Memorial moments and remembrance opportunities
- Music, vendors, and community fellowship
- Special tributes honoring babies and families
Together, we light the way for families walking through loss — honoring every baby, every story, and every step.
