Light Over Darkness 5K- Benefiting the Tim Tebow Foundation
Join us for the Light Over Darkness 5K as we come together as a community to support children in need. This event benefits the Tim Tebow Foundation, which serves some of the Most Vulnerable children- including those affected by sexual abuse, human trafficking, special needs, and serious medical conditions.
Our goal is simple: to shine a light in dark places and make a lasting impact through faith, community, and action.
Your registration fee helps cover event costs such as race t-shirts and logistics. All remaining proceeds will be donated directly to the Tim Tebow Foundation to support their life-changing work.
We hope to make this an annual event that continues to grow and bring hope to those who need it most.
