Runners, walkers, joggers, and stroller-pushers are all welcome on Thanksgiving morning to join our 10K, 5K, or free Kids Fun Run. All proceeds from the in-person event support the local mission of our two charity partners: YoungLives, which provides mentorship and care for parenting adolescents to grow in faith, grow in life, and grow in leadership; and Capernaum, which invites teens and young adults with disabilities to discover authentic friendship, growth, and purpose. Our virtual event supports the YoungLives mission around the globe.
