2nd Annual Help Them Stay 5K : King's Ranch Ministries
The Second Annual Help Them Stay 5K takes place in Jonesboro, Arkansas on October 10, 2026, at Craighead Forest Park Pavilion 1 (4910 S Culberhouse Rd, Jonesboro, AR 72404). The event is hosted by King’s Ranch Ministries, a Center for Childhood Trauma Recovery and 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Proceeds support the organization’s mission to help children from traumatic beginnings stay in loving, forever homes.
The in-person 5k features chipped race timing, a race shirt, water stations, and race-day packet pickup located near the start/finish area. Both runners and walkers are welcome; strollers are permitted. A Kids FUN RUN is scheduled before the main 5k, and a virtual 5K option is available for participants who are not local. A Spirit Runner option allows supporters to contribute without participating in the race.
Organizers will place a final order for race shirts on September 22; registrations completed by midnight on September 21 are guaranteed a shirt in the requested size. A limited number of extra shirts will be ordered for later registrants.
Local businesses and organizations are listed as sponsors, including presenting sponsors Cooper Land and Development and KAIT, as well as several finisher, mileage, and station sponsors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
