🏃♂️🏃♀️➡️ RUN FOR AUTUMN 5K - We invite you to lace up your running shoes and join us for a day of remembrance, unity, and love. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your presence helps keep Autumn’s spirit alive in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. 100% of the proceeds benefit Camp Cadet, Autumn’s Playground at Lion’s Field, and Dauntless Fire Company.
❤️❤️ REMEMBRANCE - Since the opening of High Street Body Shop, we have been honored to celebrate and remember the life of our daughter, Autumn Danchanko. Each year this 5K brings our community together in her memory, and this year holds even greater significance as we dedicate it to what would have been her 17th birthday.
🏋️ & 🏃 NEW FOR 2026!!! - This year, we are adding an additional category to the event known as the “5K Pump & Run,” which will give athletes the option to enter a bench press competition prior to the 5K race. The test of strength will be scored by repetitions (30 maximum) of body weight percentages. For each repetition that a lifter can complete, 30 seconds will be deducted from their final "5K Pump & Run" time. Participants can enter the 5K, the 5K Pump & Run or BOTH! We hope this category will bring additional athletes and interest to the day of fundraising. See further details below and on our Facebook page.
🏃♂️🏃♀️➡️ COURSE DETAILS - The race will begin at the YPCC on the Ghost Town Trail and head toward Revloc. At the designated turn around runners will head back toward the YPCC.
