Hearts of Compassion 5K 2026
Hearts of Compassion is a ministry of Colonial Heights Baptist Church that supports Christ-centered families called to adoption and foster care. The HOC5K is a community race held at Colonial Heights Baptist Church on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Registration opens August 15, 2026.
The event features these distances:
- 5K
- 1-Mile Fun Run
Packet pickup is available the day before and the morning of the event. A silent auction opens about one week before the race; 100% of auction donations and purchases go to the Colonial Heights Adoption Fund. The Adoption Fund provides financial assistance to adoptive families through grants and no-interest loans via a partnership with Lifesong for Orphans.
The race page notes opportunities for sponsorship and volunteer involvement, and offers ways to donate items for the silent auction. Eligibility information for the Adoption Fund states applicants must be home study approved members of a Bible-believing church; Lifesong reviews applications and manages the fund.
The event description presents a mix of race logistics, fundraising, and church mobilization focused on connecting children, families, and the church. Details such as packet pickup dates, auction timing, sponsorship, volunteer roles, and fund administration are provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
