Run for Rhonda

🌟 Join Us for the 2nd Annual Run for Rhonda 5K!

Lace up your sneakers and be part of a fun-filled day honoring the incredible life of Rhonda Flores. This family-friendly event, offering something for everyone, will take place on Sunday, May 4, 2025, and includes a 5K, 1-mile run/walk, and a free ¼-mile kids run just for fun.

The run begins and ends near the Ingham Ship, following 3 loops of the promenade at the beautiful Truman Waterfront where there is plenty of room to move and lots for kids to enjoy at the playground and splash park.
