SJ5K
About this race
The SJ5K is a benefit run hosted by high school students at the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park to honor and support local families in crisis. Each year, the event’s purpose is to bring the community together to provide hope, support, and financial relief for families facing illness, medical emergencies, or other life-altering situations, all while developing student leadership.
Over the past fourteen years, the SJ5K has been able to support over 70 local families. Please consider joining us in 2026 for the 16th annual SJ5K on May 3rd. Also, take a moment to browse our RunSignUp website or visit www.SJ5K.org to learn more about our 2026 families and SJ5K crew, as well as explore more on the event’s history and the impact it has had on our friends and neighbors.
