About this race

This event is held in loving memory of our daughter, Sophia, who passed away at the age of 15 one year ago due to mental health struggles. Sophia was a bright light from Arab / Joppa area – full of laughter, kindness, and witt. She and her twin sister Madelyn were inseparable on the Arab Knights cross country and track teams, running varsity and junior varsity Cross Country and Track together. Sophia had a special gift for making every runner feel included, her and her sister, Madelyn,  would make bows for their teammates to wear on race day, and Sophia was always near the finish line, cheering the loudest with that big smile and words that kept everyone going.  She deeply loved others and was always there to help when someone was in need. Through this race, we hope to honor Sophia’s life while working to ensure that other families have access to the mental health support and resources they deserve.Join us for Sophia's Stride Charity 5K to honor her joy, heart, and encouragement on the trails she loved.


All proceeds go directly to Wellstone Inc, mental health charity, supporting young people and families with the hope and resilience Sophia shared.

Come run, walk, or cheer – let's celebrate her together.

Sophia loved pink, so lets show it!!   WEAR PINK!!
