Hope Children's Fund 22nd Annual Larry Hohler Bi-Continental 5k Fun Run/Walk 2026

The Larry Hohler Bi-Continental 5k Fun Run/Walk is a 5k event held at Saint Anselm’s Episcopal Church in Shoreham, New York. Participants can run or walk the course. A family-pack option and a virtual 5k are available for those unable to attend in person. The race was established to honor Larry Hohler and generates funds for Hope Children’s Fund. The “Bi-Continental” designation reflects the race’s connection between Long Island and Meru, Kenya, where Hope Children’s Fund assists orphaned children. Hope Children’s Fund is a 501(c)(3) organization registered in New York State, founded in 2005. It provides necessities such as food, clothing, shelter, medical attention, and educational opportunities. The organization states it has no paid employees or offices in the United States, ensuring donations directly benefit the children. A local Kenyan team of twelve manages the orphanage in Meru, which currently houses 92 children.
