About this race

A great opportunity to run or walk in the cool fall weather, the Bee the Light 5K is the fifth annual race sponsored by The Shelby Foundation for Kindness Delivered. This exciting event on a paved trail will highlight the family-friendly environment of Southeastway Park which also includes bike trails, a playground, shelters, an education center, wooded areas, and a pond.

This race is held in honor of Shelby Kraft, who passed away in early 2022, and 100% of registration proceeds will be donated to the International Rett Syndrome Foundation. Rett Syndrome is an incurable neurologic disorder, primarily affecting girls and women, which can lead to significant disability. Shelby is also the namesake of Kindness Delivered, an organization that delivers kindness in Jesus' name throughout the community. For more information on Shelby and Kindness Delivered, visit kindnessdelivered.org. 

Whether you are looking to run, walk, or just enjoy the race swag, this event is sure to be a great time and an incredible experience! This race will be timed and scored by Bodies Race Company. Results will be posted as soon as you cross the finish line! Top male and female racers will win an award. Registration includes a race T-shirt, bib, medal, swag bag, and photos.
