Event Overview
The Fostering Hope 5K is an annual community event held at White Hall Park in Richmond, Kentucky. The event supports the Orphan Care Alliance, a ministry that serves vulnerable children and families within the foster and adoptive community across Kentucky and southern Indiana. Participants can choose from several event formats held on a scenic loop course consisting of paved trails and roadway surfaces.
Available event categories include:
- 5K Run/Walk: A manually timed 3.1 mile race.
- Kid's 1/4 Mile Dash: An untimed 0.25 mile run for children aged 9 and under.
- Kid's 1/4 Mile Ride on Toy Race: A fun, untimed event for children aged 3-7 using 6- or 12-volt ride-on toys on the quarter-mile course.
- Virtual Runner/Walker: A 3.1 mile option for those participating from other locations.
The 5K Run/Walk is open to both runners and walkers. The course is accessible for strollers and dogs on fixed-length leashes. Participants who register by the designated deadline receive a commemorative unisex or youth T-shirt. The event includes music, food, and free race photography.
For the competitive 5K, awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers overall. Additionally, medals are awarded to the top two male and female finishers in various age brackets ranging from 10 and under to 80 and over. Children participating in the 1/4 Mile Dash receive a participation medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
