Love Hard 5k Fun Run

WE'RE BACK FOR YEAR 3!!

In 2023, Jordan Wright and Annie (Blevins) Wright created Team Russell's Runners in honor of Annie's baby cousin Russell Belcher, who passed away unexpectedly in March of that same year. 

We're happy to be back this year and hoping to build on our previous two years to help more families in need. 

Russell was the kindest soul. He lived life with the biggest smile on his face and a personality "As Big As the Sun," as his big sister, Aubrey, likes to say. Annie and Jordan were blessed to be the beneficiaries of playtimes with Russell when they would travel back to St. Louis to visit family over the years. And, as most rambunctious 2-year-old children tend to do, he was always still ready to play by the time they were both wiped out. It didn't matter what you put in front of him, he was ready to make a game of it. 

So, with the blessing of his family and in honor of Russell Belcher, Team Russell’s Runners is back for round 3 of the 5th Annual Love Hard 5k Fun Run! We're going to run, walk, hopefully laugh, maybe cry a bit, and most importantly, raise money along the way. 

If you feel led, we'd love for you to either join the team or donate to the cause at the link below. Runs will be held in St. Louis, Denver, San Diego, Chicago, Boston, Grand Rapids, and remotely. If running/walking isn’t your thing, that’s cool, too. Any donation or sharing of our story goes a long way!
