About the Event
First Gen-5K – Run for Opportunity, Grow Together
Join us on August 8th at 8:00 AM at Baseline Road Trailhead for the inaugural First Gen-5K, a race dedicated to supporting first-generation college students.
More than just a run, this event is a growing space for the community where local businesses, leaders, and families come together to connect, promote, and inspire. With chip timing, sponsor booths, and a welcoming environment, it’s a powerful way to move forward together.
Every step supports education. Every booth builds connection.
Let’s run with purpose and grow as one.
