About the Event

Phil Phest 5k returns on March 20, 2027, as part of the fifth annual celebration honoring Phil's remarkable journey from cancer survivor to ultramarathon runner. This race is more than just a run; it’s an inspiring event that raises funds for children who have lost a parent to cancer through the Running For Dreams Foundation.
Participants will experience a scenic 5k course that showcases local landmarks and parks, providing runners with a memorable backdrop as they take part in this special cause-driven event. The race is chip-timed, ensuring accurate results, while all registered participants receive a numbered bib, custom unisex t-shirt, and finisher medal upon completion.
The day promises to be filled with community spirit and support for those affected by cancer, making Phil Phest 5k an uplifting experience for runners of all levels. By signing up, you not only challenge yourself but also contribute to the well-being of children facing unimaginable loss. Registration guarantees a t-shirt if completed ahead of race day.
Join us as we celebrate resilience and hope on this significant date in spring.
