Countdown to Race Day #Runforhope2026
Events
Run for Hope Half Marathon
Event Description
Run for Hope is more than a race — it's a movement. Every mile you run fuels real change: shelter, recovery, and hope for our neighbors who need it most.
Join us Saturday, August 29th at The Gathering Place in Downtown Warsaw for a half marathon or 5K — two distances, one mission. Whether you're chasing a PR or crossing your first finish line, your steps matter here.
All events are foot-traffic only for the safety of every participant.
Thank you Cloud 9 Multisport Helping us pull it all together — from course planning to race-day coordination.
Must register by August 8 to guarantee a shirt
