Chasing Hope 5K Run & 1 Mile Hope Stride
The Chasing Hope event is an inaugural community race held at White Hall Park in Richmond, Kentucky. The program offers a timed 5K and an untimed 1 Mile Hope Stride, with a virtual participation option also available. The course uses paved trail and roadway surfaces through the park.
Awards are presented for the Top 3 male and Top 3 female overall finishers and for the Top 3 male and Top 3 female in various age divisions. Registration includes a commemorative unisex race T-shirt while supplies last, and a registration fee of $30.00 is listed. Strollers and dogs on fixed-length leashes are permitted on course.
A water lantern memorial takes place at the park lake. Interested participants receive a lantern to decorate or to write a message for a loved one, and lanterns are launched on the water before the race begins. The event raises awareness for suicide prevention and mental health; 100% of net proceeds support the Behavioral Health Department at Baptist Health Richmond.
Sponsorship opportunities are available with listed levels including Gold $1,000+, Silver $500-$999, Bronze $250-$500, and Chalk The Walk $50-$100. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
