From the Organizer
The Miles For Jae 5K was created to honor the life and memory of Jae and to turn love and remembrance into something that brings our community together.
Now in its second year, this annual walk/run continues to grow as a day of unity, healing, and purpose. What began as a tribute has become a movement — one that uplifts our hometown and pours back into our youth.
All proceeds will support our community Fall Festival, providing a safe and exciting event for young people and creating opportunities for teens to serve, lead, and give back.
This event is open to runners, walkers, families, and supporters of all ages. Whether you’re participating in the 5K or simply coming out to show love, every step taken helps us build something meaningful.
Wear blue. Bring your energy. Let’s make Year 2 unforgettable.
