Join us for the Solo Strong 5K, a family-friendly run/walk bringing our community together the weekend before National Solo Parent Day! This isn’t just a race: it’s a celebration of strength, resilience, and support for families of all kinds.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a parent with a stroller, or just looking for a fun community outing, this event is for you. We’ll have a kids’ race, activities, and plenty of opportunities to connect with neighbors and friends.

Best of all, 100% of proceeds benefit Solo Parent, supporting their mission to empower and encourage solo parents in our community. Together, we’re building something meaningful for families and celebrating the power of showing up, for ourselves and each other!

Come run, walk, or cheer. Let’s make this 5K one to remember!
