BeKind 5k Run or Walk

Join us for the BeKind (with Brandon's House) 5k to run or walk 5k to support free counseling for teens and families! We want to raise $50,000 to support mental health counseling for children and teens in our community. Brandon's House is 100% supported by the same community we serve.  

We run and walk in memory of Ella — a smart, beautiful, and athletic young lady whose wit, kindness, and vibrant spirit left a lasting mark on everyone who knew her. This 5K is part of the BeKind movement, born from her life and legacy — reminding us that even the smallest act of kindness can have a powerful ripple effect. Join us in honoring Ella Reese Walker and helping kindness go the distance. 

The "BeKind with Brandon's House FUN-tastic 5k" (run or walk) will be held on Saturday, Sept 12th between the hours of 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM. This event will be held on the New Albany Riverfront, registration & start by the Amphitheatre). Registration opens at 7:45 AM.

How it works: This 5k is meant to be all-inclusive.  So bring your team of co-workers, friends & family to run or walk any of 3 divisions we have.  Those 3 divisions are - Framily style that includes strollers and/or leashes (for your dogs) to have the whole family, including friends like family. Or Silly style (walk a 5k while stopping to fulfill 3 silly stations). Or just a Regular 5k– walk or run. 

Special T-Shirts: To add a shirt to your order, continue past the registration fee and before you reach checkout, the options will be available to you! Be sure to select the correct size.
