This inspiring annual event offers participants the choice of a 3.1-mile (5k) run or a 1-mile walk, making it accessible for all paces and ages. The 5k course is renowned as one of the flattest and fastest in Northwest Arkansas, taking runners along the beautiful Blossom Way Trail.

All 5K participants are celebrated with a unique, one-of-a-kind finisher medal, while top finishers receive special awards. The 1-mile Walk to Remember provides a heartfelt opportunity to pay tribute to loved ones lost to substance use disorder and mental health challenges. Starting and finishing at the Rogers High School parking lot near the Blossomway Trailhead, the event also features a community fair and well-supported hydration stations on the course, creating an uplifting and memorable experience for everyone involved.
