Love Your Park Fun Run & 5K
About this race
Join us for a community celebration that brings neighbors together for a great cause - supporting the North of the River Foundation's Youth Scholarship Fund! Every step you take helps local children and families access recreation programs, sports, and camps that build confidence, connection, and lifelong memories. Whether you're running the 5K, walking the Fun Run, or cheering from the sidelines, this event is all about loving our parks, loving our hearts, and giving back to the parks that make our neighborhoods thrive.
Participants will receive a finisher medal, and all proceeds go directly toward scholarships for youth recreation opportunities. Let's move together for a purpose! All pre-registered participants will receive a medal.
Choose from our Fun Run for beginners, walkers, families, and children or our 5K for runners.
Please note, our Fun Run takes place within Polo Community Park boundaries, while our 5K goes beyond the park.
