Description

Run for a reason• Walk for a purpose

Celebrating 7 Years of Running for the Community.

Join us for the annual 5K Run/Walk with Gusto, held in honor of Steve Hula, former owner of Gusto Coffee Shop and a man who deeply loved this community.

All proceeds from this event support three incredible ministries that serve people in need:

• City Union Mission
• Rended Hearts Ministry – rescuing victims of human trafficking
• God’s Bucket Brigade – serving the homeless

The race starts and finishes at Gusto Coffee Shop and winds through the scenic beauty of Longview Lake in Jackson County.

This event truly reflects the heart of the community. You'll see serious runners at the front of the pack, families enjoying the morning together, kids on bikes, and walkers with dogs and strollers bringing up the rear. Whether you're running for a personal best or simply enjoying the morning with friends, everyone is welcome.

Register early to guarantee your race jersey! These Gusto jerseys are always in high demand and are only guaranteed for registrations received by, May 10th.  Shirts will not be printed beyond this time.
