Growing Minds Take Flight 5K

The Growing Minds Take Flight 5K is a running event held at the Walnut Ridge Airport in Arkansas. Participants gather at this aviation themed location to complete a course measuring 3.1 miles. The event serves as a fundraiser for the Growing Minds Foundation, an organization that supports children with disabilities within Lawrence County.

All proceeds from the race are allocated toward scholarships for local children. These funds assist families with various costs, including medical equipment, specialized surgeries, and specialty toys designed for children with specific needs.

Available participation options include:

  • 3.1 Miles running race

In addition to the physical race, there is a Spirit Runner category for those who wish to support the cause without participating in the run. The flat terrain of the airport setting provides the backdrop for this community focused event. Registration is open to the public, and participants contribute to the foundation's efforts to provide financial assistance for medical and developmental resources.
