Lake Community Hope 5k and Fun Run

The 3rd annual Lake Community Hope 5k run/walk and fun run will be on 8/23/26. This event will occur in the Lake Community with the partnership of the Lake Community YMCA, to raise money for the Lake Community Hope Scholarship Fund in Memory of Melissa, Renee, Amber and Evan.

This year we will feature a new course route and the opportunity for more sponsors and vendors to participate. 
The 5k is designed for both competitive runners, joggers, power walkers and those just out for a stroll. The 5k will feature a chip timing system.

The fun run is great for younger kiddos and those that want to participate but also want to cheer on the 5k event or even volunteer.
