About the Race

Please join us for the 2026 Pregnancy & Infant Loss 5K and Fun Run in Sand Springs! Austin and I started this race back in 2018 in honor of our son, Jacob Austin Ryan, who was stillborn January 23rd, 2018. Since then, we have met so many people and families that have experienced similar losses including our dear friends, Jake and Tera Elledge and Matt and Cassie Barnett. The Elledge family lost their daughter, Lennon Jesse Elledge, on November 9th, 2019 to stillbirth. The Barnett's daughter, Elizabeth “Elle” Jane Barnett, was stillborn on August 28th, 2021. And their son, Paxton "Pax" Brently Barnett, who was also stillborn on March 23rd, 2023.

Community Support

The loss of our children is an experience we truly wish we didn't share, but having a community of people who understand and want to stand by you as you honor your child's life is something we are so proud to be a part of. We’re not only honoring our babies, Lennon, Pax, Elle, & Jacob, but all babies that left this earth far too soon.

• Honoring: All babies that left this earth far too soon
• Community: Hundreds of people within our community participate and honor their babies
• Silence: Many families deal with these types of losses silently
