About this race
🏃♂️ About the Event
Join us for the 2nd Annual Live Like Jack 5K & 1-Mile Kids Run—a fun-filled evening for the whole family!
After the race, stick around for pizza, dance party, snow cones, and balloon character twisting. Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering, there’s something for everyone.
💙 Our Story
Our son Jack was born with bilateral clubfoot and arthrogryposis, requiring ongoing treatment and travel for care. In one year alone, we made six trips to Florida for his treatment. While we are fortunate to provide for him, we recognize that many families cannot. Live Like Jack was created to help change that.
When Jack was a baby, we were told by a doctor he would “never be normal.”
We believe different is something to celebrate.
🎯 Our Mission
Live Like Jack supports children born with clubfoot, limb differences, and musculoskeletal conditions by helping families access essential medical care, travel, and adaptive equipment.
To help every child—regardless of ability—move, play, and LIVE like Jack.
