Sanctuary Night Mother's Day 5K
About this race
Sanctuary Night remains committed to offering trauma-informed care to women who are sexually exploited or at-risk of sexual exploitation. Our drop-in center on Sullivant Avenue continues to provide support for these women, many of whom are mothers, regardless of their custody status. In commemoration of these resilient women and to honor all mothers, we have chosen Mother's Day weekend for our annual 5K event.
Join us on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Genoa Park in downtown Columbus.
