Remembrance 5K Run/Walk for HOPE

Lace up for a truly meaningful event at the 16th Annual Remembrance 5K Run/Walk for HOPE on August 1, 2026, in scenic Long Branch Park, Liverpool, NY. This inspiring gathering invites runners and walkers of all paces to honor and celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed away, with every stride supporting HOPE For Bereaved's vital mission to provide free peer grief support services to the community.

Participants will experience a USATF-certified 5K course, offering a well-measured and enjoyable challenge within the beautiful park setting. What makes this race uniquely heartwarming is the opportunity to bring photos of cherished individuals to be displayed on a memory board, creating a powerful visual tribute. Typical race day conditions in early August bring pleasant highs around 82°F and lows around 63°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable environment for your run or walk. Beyond the main 5K, the event also features a Kids' Superhero Fun Run and a virtual option, ensuring everyone can participate.

The Remembrance 5K Run/Walk for HOPE is more than just a race; it's a community celebration of life and support. An accompanying expo enhances the experience with interactive grief activities for adults, face painting, balloon animals for kids, music from a DJ, and access to grief experts. For those wishing to leave a lasting tribute, donations over $100 offer the opportunity to have a loved one's name appear on the back of the race shirt. Join fellow participants in this impactful event, where remembrance fuels hope and community spirit.
