About the Event

The Community Spirit 5K Run/Walk invites participants from all walks of life to unite under the banner of health, hope, and service. Organized by The Salvation Army, this event transcends mere competition; it's an opportunity for individuals to contribute positively to their community while supporting those in need.
Each stride taken during the Community Spirit 5K contributes directly to enhancing awareness and funding for critical programs that assist families and youth facing hardships such as food insecurity, financial struggles, emergencies, and developmental challenges. The name "Community Spirit" encapsulates the essence of The Salvation Army's mission – a commitment to serving others with empathy and generosity.
As runners or walkers move through the course, they'll be surrounded by an atmosphere rich in camaraderie and goodwill. This event encourages participants to focus not only on physical well-being but also on fostering compassion and support for their neighbors. Whether you are a seasoned athlete, a first-time participant, a dedicated volunteer, or a generous sponsor, your involvement strengthens our community's resilience.
Join us as we embark on this journey together – running, walking, and serving side by side in the spirit of mutual care and assistance. Every step taken is a testament to the enduring impact of collective effort and kindness.
