Run for Hope is an annual family-friendly fundraiser offering a 5K and a one-mile walk/run. It takes place at four in-person locations and includes a virtual option for remote participation. The in-person sites are Wheeler Ferris Wheel in Oklahoma City, Riverwalk Jenks near Tulsa, First Baptist Church in Weatherford, and Cottonwood Creek Park in Colorado Springs. The event is designed for families and runners alike, featuring food trucks, face painting, games, and options for a shorter, less strenuous participation.

The event targets 2,000 runners and 2,000 teams, with each runner contributing to the sustenance of over 60 family support groups. Participants have the option to submit a photo honoring a loved one, adding a personal dimension to the event beyond the race.

Runners cross the dry bed of Kaweah Lake at this trail race in Three Rivers, California. The race takes place in the fall and offers two straightforward distance options: a 5K (3.1 miles) and a 10K (6.2 miles). It begins and ends on Sierra Drive. With limited parking, it has the feel of a small local event rather than a large city race. The course’s main appeal is its unique surface and location: instead of running around the lake, participants run across the exposed lake bottom. The first race sold out two weeks before the event, and participation is capped. Finishers receive a Lake Bottom t-shirt, a custom wood medal, complimentary race photos, and chip timing. The finish area provides food, music, and camaraderie. Proceeds benefit St. Anthony Retreat and Conference Center.
