This event will not only celebrate physical activity but also raise funds for Hope Lives Here, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting veterans by providing them with service animals at no cost.
The Route 66 5K promises to be an exciting event focused on community. Participants can expect a scenic route through part of historic Route 66, accompanied by live music and post-race festivities. Early bird registrations are currently open, with limited slots available at a discounted rate of $25.

Let’s lace up our shoes and hit the pavement! We look forward to you joining us in running towards a healthier and happier community!

The event is benefitting a portion of proceeds to a local nonprofit Veteran’s group called Hope Lives Here. They help veterans and rescued shelter dogs train to become service animals to local veterans at no cost – it’s pretty awesome!
We would also love if you could share the word in any way about the 5K. We are looking for registrants and are running an early bird pricing for $25 at the moment.
