From the Organizer

Our mission is to ignite curiosity as an engine that cultivates visionaries through mentorship, service and leadership development. 

Building on Last Year's Impact

As we prepare for the 2026 Healthy Mind, Healthy Body 5K, we are focused on expanding our impact and creating even more opportunities for students across Jefferson County. Funds raised this year will support scholarships, mentorship initiatives, leadership development programming, and the continued growth of Helping Educate Youth's mission to equip the next generation of changemakers.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the sponsors, volunteers, vendors, and participants who made last year's event a success. Because of your support, we were able to raise critical funding, award scholarships, and take meaningful steps toward transforming the lives of young people in our community.

This year, we invite you to join us once again as we build upon that foundation. Together, we can create an even stronger event, reach more students, and continue moving mountains for the next generation of leaders.

Thank you for being part of this movement. Let's lace up and get moving—for healthy minds, healthy bodies, and a brighter future for our youth. When you join us as a runner, volunteer, or supporter, you’re not just participating in a race—you’re helping to launch a new chapter for Helping Educate Youth and investing in the next generation of leaders.

Thank you for being part of this movement. Let’s lace up and get moving—for healthy minds, healthy bodies, and a healthier future for our youth!
