Choose Kind 5K
About this race
Join us for a meaningful gathering celebrating kindness, compassion, and the power of community.
#ChooseKind began in memory of our beautiful daughter, Ashton, who was tragically killed by a drunk driver just one week before her 16th birthday. While our hearts continue to miss her every day, we have found purpose through sharing her story and encouraging others to choose kindness in their own lives.
This event is an opportunity to honor Ashton's legacy by inspiring acts of compassion, supporting one another, and making a positive difference in our community. Together, we can turn heartbreak into hope and remind one another that even the smallest act of kindness can have a lasting impact.
We invite you to join us as we celebrate Ashton's life, spread kindness, and encourage everyone to #ChooseKind.
Registration includes custom race shirt and medal, and post race food provided by Maisie's Green Brae Restaurant!
