🏃‍♀️ Get Ready to Lace Up for a Cause! 🏃‍♂️

The 7th Annual SafeNest Run for Hope 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run returns on Sunday, October 19th — and we want YOU on the starting line! Whether you're a serious runner, a casual walker, or here to support survivors of domestic and sexual violence, this is your chance to move for a mission and have fun doing it.

Grab your sneakers, rally your coworkers, and let’s run (or walk) toward empowerment, hope, and healing — one step at a time. Pets are welcome to participate! Ready, Set, Run for Hope! 💜

New this year:

🩺 We're hosting our first-ever Health + Wellness Fair, with local vendors and feel-good giveaways! The Fair is free and open to the community; you do not need to participate in the 5K or 1 Mile Fun Run to attend.
