Better Together 5K
The Better Together 5K is a community run and walk at Berea City Park in Berea, KY that supports the Berea Food Bank. The event includes in-person and virtual options and multiple short-distance events for different participants.
Event distances include:
- 5K Run/Walk - 3.1 miles, chip timed
- Kids Dash - 400 yards, for children 10 and under
- Virtual Runner/Walker - 3.1 miles, commemorative beanie provided with donation
The 5K course uses paved trail and roadway surfaces and runs through Berea City Park and the Berea City Trail. Awards are given to the Top 3 male and female overall finishers and to the Top 3 male and female finishers in the age groups 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+.
The Kids Dash has no awards; participating children receive a participation magnet and parents may run or walk with their child. The virtual option asks for a donation to the Berea Food Bank and provides a commemorative race beanie for participants who complete the distance on their own schedule.
Wheelchairs, walkers, strollers, and dogs on leashes are welcomed. Winter beanie or race cap and fleece headband options are available, and free snacks, water, and race photos are offered at the finish. Packet pickup is planned race morning near the football field and bleachers at Berea City Park, 5 Pirate Parkway, Berea, KY 40403. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
