From the Organizer
Join us for the annual 3 Bridges 5K Run/Walk, a community event that brings together runners, walkers, families, and friends for a morning of fitness, fellowship, and giving back!
This year's race carries a special purpose as we rally around Cayden Gillespie, a courageous young boy currently battling cancer. A portion of all race proceeds will be donated to help support Cayden and his family as they navigate this difficult journey.
The 3 Bridges 5K is more than just a race—it's an opportunity for our community to come together and demonstrate the strength, compassion, and generosity that make our area such a special place to call home. Whether you're a competitive runner chasing a personal best, a casual walker enjoying the course, or a family looking for a meaningful way to spend a summer morning, we invite you to be part of this inspiring event.
Every registration, donation, and show of support helps make a difference. By participating, you'll not only enjoy a beautiful course and a fun community atmosphere, but you'll also help provide encouragement and support to a local family facing one of life's toughest challenges.
Bring your friends, family members, coworkers, teammates, and neighbors and help us make this year's event our biggest and most impactful yet. Together, we can show Cayden and his family that they are not fighting alone.
