We are excited to announce the Ballers on the Move 5K Run/Walk, taking place on Saturday, September 20th at Van Horn Park and we’re reaching out to invite you to be part of something truly special.
This is more than just a race. It’s a community celebration and a fundraiser to support the year-round programming of Springfield Ballers, a volunteer-based nonprofit that empowers local youth through sports, academics, mentorship, and leadership development. We are proud to serve Springfield-area families through:
- Golf, Lacrosse, track & field programs, and year-round basketball
- Free clinics and skills development sessions
- After-school academic support and summer learning
- Mentorship and college/career guidance for student-athletes
- Access to sports for kids who otherwise couldn’t afford to play
The 5K will include much more than a run—it’s a community health and wellness event featuring:
- Free CPR training
- Heart screenings
- Local food vendors,
- Games
- Giveaways
- ALL-Star Basketball Game
- Entertainment for all ages.
