This isn’t just a run — it’s a FOOD DRIVE WITH HEART. Every step helps stock pantries for local kids facing hunger right here in Parrish. Bring non-perishable food donations (canned proteins, peanut butter, pasta, rice, etc.) and we’ll deliver them directly to Feeding Empty Little Tummies to feed families in need.

Get in the holiday spirit with this festive 5K! Wear your favorite holiday gear and jingle all the way through a winter wonderland course. Proceeds benefit Toys for Tots (Manatee County), spreading holiday cheer to children in our community. Let’s celebrate the season of giving!

Let’s make this finale the most generous yet! Drop off NEW, UNWRAPPED toys & BATTERIES and help fill Santa’s sleigh for local kids in need! 🎅
