Strong Like A Mother 5K is a running race on May 9, 2027 in Columbus, OH, with an entry fee of $20.
Lace up for something bigger than the finish line; help provide a critical lifeline to families experiencing a housing crisis.
Join Home for Families (HFF) for the Strong Like a Mother 5K, presented by Hexion, on the morning of Sunday, May 9 (Mother’s Day), at Wolfe Park in Columbus, and go the distance for moms and families facing severe housing instability. About 86% of our households are led by women, two-thirds have been mothers, and most are under the age of 35. So, whether you're running the 5K, participating in the timed 1K Family Fun Run, or enjoying a leisurely 1K walk, your support will help HFF go the extra mile to prevent homelessness for moms and their families.
Run for mom. Run for family. Run for change.
As one of the largest non-shelter housing providers for low-income families in Columbus, Home for Families works behind the scenes with a network of landlords, government agencies, and community partners to provide safe, secure, and affordable housing solutions to over 1,200 families experiencing housing crises each year. We are a family’s exit plan from shelter and actively partner with them to resolve ongoing barriers to housing and provide long-term solutions for stability.
