Welcome to the Miles for Smiles 5K & Fun Run, a community event benefiting the NLC-Beebe Christmas Mall.

This race is more than just crossing a finish line—it's about making a difference in the lives of children and families throughout our community. Every registration, sponsorship, and donation helps support the NLC-Beebe Christmas Mall, providing parents with the opportunity to shop for Christmas gifts for their children in a way that preserves dignity while creating lasting memories.

Whether you're an experienced runner, a casual walker, or simply looking for a way to give back, we invite you to join us for a morning of fun, fitness, and community.

Together, we're proving that every mile truly creates smiles.

About the NLC-Beebe Christmas Mall

The NLC-Beebe Christmas Mall exists to serve families throughout our community during the Christmas season.

Instead of simply receiving gifts, parents are invited into a Christmas store environment where they can shop for their own children at little or no cost. This allows families to experience the joy and dignity of providing Christmas for their children while creating meaningful memories together.

Every registration, donation, and sponsorship helps make this ministry possible.
