From the Organizer
Come join the fun and help the homeless with the annual Stay Alive 5K & 1 Mile Walk, held on November 8th, 2026. This event held by The Sub Zero Mission (http://www.subzeromission.org) will help bring much-needed resources to our fight to make sure "No One Freezes to Death in America" (with our special focus on Veterans as well). We hand deliver thousands of warming items directly to the homeless every winter including hats, coats, boots, gloves, and sleeping bags (our Stay Alive 5).
Come out and support a great cause, and have fun doing so! We'll have Sub Zero branded merchandise for sale. All proceeds will directly help our mission! Sub Zero Mission is a 501c3 non-profit organization based in Painesville, Ohio that provides warming items directly to the area homeless and veteran homeless population. There will be Veteran recognition at the race, please fill out the questions on registration.
