From the Organizer

Hope for Haiti exists to shine the light of Jesus by giving hope and a future to Haitian children entrusted to our care.

Join us for the Hope for Haiti 5K and Fun Run, a meaningful run and walk created to support the ongoing care and education of over 50 children at the Hope for Haiti orphanage. 

Every step you take helps provide essential resources including food, shelter, education, and daily care for these incredible students.

To learn more about the children and families you are directly supporting, please visit:

Come run with purpose, walk with heart, and be part of something bigger.

The 5K begins at 8:00 AM at Anastasia Church, followed by a Fun Run for all ages at 8:15 AM, making it the perfect opportunity for everyone to participate, no matter their pace or experience.

The 5K race will take participants on a scenic course through Anastasia State Park and the surrounding community. This unique route features shaded roads covered by a natural hammock canopy, gentle turns and hills, and stretches through some of St. Johns County’s most beautiful terrain. Runners will make their way through the park, continue into one of St. Augustine’s picturesque neighborhoods, and finish strong down Old Beach Road back to the church.

Anastasia Church, one of our valued community partners, has graciously opened their beautiful, shaded back property for the start and finish line. Their facilities will be available for participants, and there is ample parking on site.

Since the race takes place on Halloween, participants are encouraged to come dressed in festive or creative costumes to add to the fun atmosphere.
