The FAMpoint5k

WE ARE BACK!

Join us for FAMpoint5K: The Race for the Rest of Us on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens.

After having to cancel last year’s event, we are so excited to bring back one of our favorite fundraisers and return FAMpoint5K to the heart of what it was always meant to be: a short, silly, donut-fueled .5K with a serious purpose.

This year, there is no 5K option — just the classic .5K for the rest of us! No training required. No running necessary. Walk, stroll, roll, cheer, laugh, stop for a donut, and help us raise funds and awareness for youth and adults impacted by foster care.

Race starts at 2:00 p.m.

Check-in will begin at 1:00 p.m. at the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens. Volunteers will be on hand to answer questions, help you get checked in, and point you in the right direction.

Along with the .5K, we will have plenty of fun throughout the event, including prize giveaways, best costume, biggest team, photo opportunities, our midway donut station, and a special secret prize that will not be revealed until it is time to give it away.

Register individually, gather your family, or start/join a team. Then create a fundraiser to help us reach our goal and support Foster Alumni Mentors’ work providing connection, stability, and support for young people and adults with foster care experience.

The race may be short, but the impact is big.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you, laugh with you, and change lives together.

Come for the donuts. Stay for the mission.

See you on race day!
