Mission and Cause

Most importantly, this race is about more than running. The event is held in honor of families impacted by addiction, with a mission to raise awareness and hope within our community. Our goal this year is to raise $10,000 to help send someone to recovery.

About The Donnie Baumann Foundation

At The Donnie Baumann Foundation, we believe recovery is a shared human experience—not just from addiction, but from anything that keeps us from living fully. Whether facing mental health challenges, chronic illness, or substance use, we’re all moving toward the same hope: healing and renewal.

We were founded in honor of a man of faith whose love for running, hard work, and the outdoors reflected a life of perseverance and purpose. Through our programs and race series, we carry that spirit forward. With your help, we hope to create opportunities for movement, connection, and access to care.

Join Us

Come run with us, support a meaningful cause, and be part of a community working together to bring hope and healing. All runners will receive a T-shirt and medal.

Participation Options

Virtual participants are welcome to submit their times for recognition on the virtual leaderboard, but official age-group awards and overall prizes will only be awarded to runners participating in person on the certified course.
