Father's Day 5K by Associated Churches

Celebrate Father's Day weekend by running with or in honor of your father, grandfather, or father-figure. Bring the entire family for an entertaining morning, including a free kid's fun run before the race. The Father's Day 5K will be a WALK, RUN, or RUCK. The course will circle around Lakeside Park's beautiful rose garden and shaded park. For the health and safety of our participants, this year's race will not include a pancake breakfast before the race. Proceeds will benefit Associated Churches' programs, Military Families and A Baby's Closet.

• WALK: Each participant will receive a commemorative t-shirt.
• RUN: Awards will be presented to the top male & female runners in each age group category.
• RUCK: Ruckers are asked to fill their backpacks with 10 lbs of baby item donations (such as diapers, wipes, or formula) to support A Baby’s Closet. Ruckers will be entered into a new category for an award.
• CHURCH TEAMS: Get your church members to participate in a healthy, fun activity celebrating our heavenly Father with a 5K. Congregations with the most participants will receive a “Traveling Trophy”. Church Teams MUST register before Monday, June 12th.
