About this race
The Labor of Love 5K Run/Walk is more than just a race. It is a community event hosted by The Salvation Army that brings people together to promote health, hope, and service while supporting our neighbors in need.
Every step taken during the Labor of Love 5K helps raise awareness and support for The Salvation Army's programs and services, which provide assistance to those facing hardship, including food insecurity, financial challenges, emergency needs, and youth development opportunities.
The name "Labor of Love" reflects the heart of The Salvation Army's mission. It represents serving others with compassion, generosity, and a genuine desire to make a difference. Through this event, participants are encouraged to not only focus on physical wellness but also on the importance of caring for and uplifting those around us.
Whether you are an experienced runner, a first-time walker, a volunteer, or a sponsor, your participation helps strengthen our community and supports The Salvation Army's ongoing commitment to meeting human needs without discrimination.
Join us as we run, walk, and serve together because every step is a Labor of Love.
