Chasing Hope 5K Run & 1 Mile Hope Stride
Chasing Hope is an inaugural community event on May 3, 2026 at Berea Community High School in Berea, Kentucky. The event raises awareness for suicide prevention and mental health; 100% of net proceeds will support the Behavioral Health Department at Baptist Health Richmond.
The event uses paved trail and roadway surfaces, including a course through Berea City Park and the Berea City Trail. Race-day packet pickup is available. Commemorative unisex race T-shirts are provided to registrants while supplies last; registrants who register by April 27 are more likely to guarantee their shirt size.
Distances:
- 5K Run/Walk (3.1 miles), timed, awards for Top 3 M/F, age divisions
- 1 Mile Hope Stride (1 mile), untimed, no awards
- Virtual 5K (3.1 miles), run or walk remotely, shirt mailed, no awards
Additional details: the 5K permits strollers and dogs on fixed-length leashes. A virtual runner/walker option is offered and virtual participants may log results on the race results page if they choose. Volunteer roles are listed for race day; organizers request 10 volunteers for 3.5-hour shifts, and volunteers who complete a full shift receive a commemorative T-shirt. Sponsorship opportunities are available at multiple levels. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
