5th Annual Run to Church on July 5th. 2026

Race begins at 8:30AM.

The 5K Run/Walk will begin & end at Faith Lutheran Church, in Whitehall. All proceeds from this event will support the work of the Carter Kindness a local non profit that seeks to feed people and spread kindness across our city.

The 5K Run/Walk course will be mostly on neighborhood roads and a loop around Lamby Lane Park before heading back to the finish line. The course is flat and on paved surfaces.

Before the race enjoy wonderful coffee provided by Florin Coffee and afterward stay for the post race hotdogs courtesy of Uncle Will's Wagon.

Pastries and treats are available for runners, walkers, watchers, and all visitors.

Each participant will receive a race shirt. If you register for the race after 7/1/2026, shirts and/or your shirt size will not be guaranteed. Please register early.
