Sneakers & Smiles Back to School 5k
Our 1st Annual Back to School 5K Run/Walk is designed to bring the community together for a fun and impactful event. This family-friendly race welcomes participants of all ages and abilities—whether you’re running for a personal best, walking with friends and family, or simply coming out to support the cause. Strollers are encouraged, and everyone is welcome.
Participants who register by 12:00 PM on July 4, 2026 will receive an event t-shirt and finisher medal. Registrations received after this deadline are still welcome but will not include these items.
Each participant will also receive a refreshing Dole Whip soft serve from Pineapple Dream—perfect for celebrating at the finish line!
In addition to the race, we’ll be collecting school supplies and new or gently used shoes to benefit local students. Your participation and generosity help provide the essentials kids need for a confident and successful start to the school year.
Together, we’re putting sneakers on their feet, supplies in their hands, and smiles on their faces.
We can’t wait to see you at the starting line!
