About this race
Bundle up and join us for the Cold for a Cause 5K, a winter race with a warm mission!
On February 27, runners and walkers of all ages and abilities will gather at Sarg Hubbard Park to brave the cold, get moving, and make a difference in the lives of our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
Whether you're a seasoned runner chasing a new personal best, a casual walker looking for a fun Saturday morning activity, or somewhere in between, there's a place for you at the Cold for a Cause 5K. Come race, walk, laugh, and maybe shiver a little—all while supporting Yakima Union Gospel Mission and its work to help people move from homelessness toward wholeness.

Because when we come together, we can turn a cold day into an opportunity to bring hope, shelter, and care to our community.
