This welcoming event offers a range of distances perfect for every pace and age, including a Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K, 5K, and a 1-Mile Family Fun Run, with early waves starting at 7:30 AM.

What makes the Always Hope Easter Run truly special is its focus on community and personal achievement in a relaxed atmosphere.

While timing is optional and no chips are used, friendly coordinators are on hand to help track your progress if desired, allowing you to simply enjoy the experience. Each registrant receives a fantastic swag bag, including a premium running T-shirt shipped directly to your address, a finisher's medal, a digital training pack, and an invitation to join local running clubs. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with fellow runners, and for the younger participants, enjoy Easter eggs filled with candy. Join this family-friendly event not just for the run, but to create lasting memories and support local charities.
