Why participate?

Running or walking a 5K for Cecil and Grace Bean’s Soup Kitchen is about much more than crossing a finish line. Every participant helps provide warm, nutritious meals to people experiencing hunger, financial hardship, or difficult circumstances. A hot meal offers more than nourishment. It provides comfort, compassion, and hope.

Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines, you are joining a community of people committed to making a positive difference. Together, we can help ensure that more of our neighbors have access to a hot meal and the support that comes with it.

One race. One community. One meaningful impact. We hope you'll join us!
