5k to feed the 5k

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

Join us for the 5K to Feed the 5K—a fun and meaningful Easter activity hosted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! This family-friendly event combines fitness, community spirit, and the joy of giving. Just as Christ used the miracle of the five loaves and two fish to feed the masses, we’re coming together to help feed those in need in our community. Runners will participate in a 5K fun run, with the goal of helping collect for our local food pantry. The entry fee is just 5 items per runner, so bring your donations and run with a purpose!

🏃‍♀️ Special Half-Mile Riddle Run

For those who may not be ready for the 5K or prefer a shorter distance, we’re excited to offer a special Half-Mile Riddle Run. This shorter run is perfect for families and kids, and it’s all about learning more about Christ and why we celebrate Easter. Participants will solve fun, faith-centered riddles along the way, discovering the true meaning of this special season. The Riddle Run will stay entirely on church property, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.

🥚 Easter Egg Hunt

After the races, the fun continues with an exciting Easter egg hunt for kids of all ages! Enjoy a morning filled with fitness, fellowship, and the joy of giving back to the community. Every step you take helps feed someone in need—what a great way to kick off the Easter weekend!

⚠️ Event Guidelines

Please note: This event is designed to be a fun run, not a competitive race. We'll be running on sidewalks, so please follow all traffic and pedestrian rules for safety. Whether you’re walking, jogging, or running, we’re all here to have fun, support a great cause, and enjoy a wonderful Easter weekend together!
