Join us for A Worthy Clause 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run!
Run. Walk. Give Back.
Your best Christmas attire is encouraged as you lace up your shoes and help us drive change - literally! This year’s holiday themed 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run isn’t just about crossing a finish line; it’s about helping A Worthy Cause hit the road with a brand-new initiative: A Worthy Movement —a bus designed to bring nutrition education, movement and mindfulness directly to the communities and youth who need it most.
Whether you're a seasoned runner or just in it for the fun, your steps support our mission to empower the next generation with holistic tools for well-being—body, mind and spirit.
Your registration makes a real impact— All proceeds go directly toward bringing our mobile mission to life and help reach, teach and inspire.
What to Expect:
- A timed 5K and untimed 1-mile fun run/walk
- A long sleeve race shirt (if you register before Nov 28th)
- A completion medal
- Family-friendly atmosphere
- Community connection, movement, music and mindfulness
- Prizes, merch and meaningful moments
Packet Pick-Up: Friday, December 12th from 3pm - 6pm at Riverside Park Farmers Market Pavillion. If you are unable to pick up on Friday, you may come before the race Saturday morning between 8am and 8:45am, by the middle pavillion at the park.
Race day there will be food trucks, health vendors and a dj bumping music after the race, so plan to hangout, enjoy the spirit and be with community!
Let’s make this dream mobile. Get signed up now!
