Heal and Rise Together 5K Walk/Run
Heal and Rise Together 5K Walk/Run takes place on October 3, 2026, at Merritt Park in Dardanelle, Arkansas. The event is organized by River Valley Runners and benefits the River Valley Shelter for Battered Women and Children in Russellville.
The event includes multiple distances and options for participants:
- 5K Walk/Run - 3.1 miles
- 1K Kids Fun Run
An on-site essential needs drive will collect items at packet pickup and on race day to restock the shelter pantry. Requested items include diapers and baby wipes; personal hygiene products such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, toothbrushes, and toothpaste; household essentials including laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, paper towels, and toilet paper; and new socks and underwear for women and children.
Event participants receive a custom finisher medal featuring a rising phoenix and purple ribbon design and an official event T-shirt guaranteed for early registrants. The organizer states that 100% of proceeds and collected goods go directly toward local domestic violence shelter programs and emergency services.
